THE BEGINNING. Art in Austria, 1945-1980. #1 Overview
"The Beginning. Art in Austria. 1945-1980" is the title of the opening exhibition at the new Museum ALBERTINAmodern which is dedicated to post war Austrian and international art. In its first exhibition the museum presents an overview over Austrian post war art of the first three decades, pointing out how the artists of this time dealt with the cruel history of national socialism and war-time and how art from Austria found its way back to international recognition. Artworks of Hermann Nitsch, Maria Lassnig, Arnulf Rainer, Friedensreich Hundertwasser and Franz West and many other artists are on view in the exhibition which has thirteen chapters. The challenge, as ALBERTINAmodern Director Klaus Albrecht Schröder states, was to rewrite art history and while walking through the show, one has the chance to experience that the canon of art history has still not been completed yet. The CastYourArt exhibition portrait with Klaus Albrecht Schröder is the first of a series of ten, which will be published within the following weeks.
