The illustrated annual review Best Pictures is back after the Corona compulsory break and will mercilessly take up the political, social and sporting events of the previous year until the end of September and discuss them with all means of satire for ten years now. The Caricatura Museum Frankfurt honours the anniversary with the large special exhibition Beste Beste Bilder- Die Cartoons des Jahrzehnts (Best Pictures- The Cartoons of the Decade) and shows the most outstanding cartoons, caricatures and satirical drawings of the last decade.

The exhibition conveys socially relevant and political events of the past decade and gives a comprehensive overview of the development of satire and humour, but also of drawing styles in the German-speaking world. Represented are 81 artists, including many well-known ones from renowned daily newspapers, political magazines and journals such as Bettina Bexte, Gerhard Glück, Katharina Greve, Gerhard Haderer, Rudi Hurzlmeier, Til Mette or Stephan Rürup. In addition, younger representatives of the cartoonists' guild also present their works.

The approximately 300 exhibits mercilessly capture events and moods of their time. In the process, they hilariously review the highs and lows of the decade. Starting with the Google surveillance mania, the annoying vuvuzelas at the World Cup in South Africa, the abuse scandals of the Catholic Church and the forced austerity policy of the Greeks. It continues with doctorate plagiarism of politicians, the death of Loriot and the eternally unfinished capital city airport BER. We continue with the negligent sinking of the Costa Concordia, the problematic cases of Uli Hoeneß and Ebola as well as the serious attack on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. All the way to the never-ending climate debate, IS terror, refugee wave, Brexit and finally the political clowns Salvini, Johnson and Trump. The cartoons describe the decade vividly and comprehensibly, with all the highlights and scandals - and without big words, but with a lot of humor.
