The most recent work of renowned Austrian sculptor and photographer
Werner Feiersinger is an artistic intervention at the Belvedere 21,
Austria's national museum for contemporary art, located in the
former Austrian Pavilion for the 1958 Brussels World's Fair that
had been transferred to Vienna in 1962. For this extensive
sculptural work, Feiersinger took cues from the building's history
and architectural details. As is characteristic of his work, the
Belvedere 21 intervention combined the artist's deep and broad
knowledge of design and architectural history with a laconic,
minimalist formal vocabulary. Werner Feiersinger. Overturn
documents this ambitious project with drawings and photographs,
essays, and an insightful interview with the artist. Together, they
shed light on the ways in which the Belvedere 21 intervention
reimagines the Pavilion as an autonomous object that nonetheless
speaks to fundamental questions about sculpture. In doing so, it
undermines conventional ways of seeing. Text in English and German.
Having represented Beuys, Richter and Polke. René Block (born
1942) ranks among the central figures of the 1960s avant-garde.
This publication collects writings by and interviews with Block,
organized chronologically.
1918 marked the end of a golden era: it was the year that Gustav
Klimt, Egon Schiele, Koloman Moser, and Otto Wagner died. Artistic
activity, however, had already freed itself of their influence.
Hardly affected by the political disruptions taking plac e, artists
in the countries of the former Austro - Hungarian monarchy were
busily productive, driven by a desire for a new start. The period
between the two World Wars is characterised in the arts by
international networks that transcended political and id eological
borders. A lively artistic exchange took place, stimulating
constructive, expressionist, and fantastic tendencies. An
increasingly important role was played by magazines that
disseminated new positions. The outbreak of World War II abruptly
inter rupted these cosmopolitan art networks. This publication
examines the fascinating, artistically fruitful epoch between the
wars.
Anniversary publication of the Belvedere The Belvedere in Vienna
epitomizes the changes that have taken place over the course of
three centuries in the concept of what constitutes a museum.
Originally built by Prince Eugene of Savoy to enhance his prestige
as a prince, under Maria Theresa, the Upper Belvedere became one of
the world’s first public museums. The idea of presenting Austrian
art in an international context, which in 1903 motivated the
establishment of the Modern Gallery in the Lower Belvedere, remains
the key objective of this world-famous cultural institution. In
this critical homage, renowned authors explore enduring questions
that transcend the different epochs, such as : What ordering
concepts are evident in art presentation ? How contemporary were
these presentations in an international context ? What kind of
public were they aimed at ? Anniversary publication of the
Österreichische Galerie Belvedere: a critical homage to a place of
art with a diverse history spanning centuries Exhibition until
