Albertina Museum
Albertina Contemporary
Andy Warhol to Anselm Kiefer
The focus of Albertina Contemporary lies on art from the second half of the 20th century, featuring both the stars and the broad diversity of postmodern art. In this year’s presentation of contemporary output at the Albertina, works by Anselm Kiefer, Gerhard Richter, Arnulf Rainer, Georg Baselitz, Gottfried Helnwein, Alex Katz, Kenton Nelson, Imi Knoebel, Maria Lassnig, and others take centre-stage.
Around 80 masterpieces serve to illustrate the multifaceted nature of postmodernism, ranging from figuration to abstraction and from colour aesthetics to political themes, while also providing a clear impression of the complex parallel trends of the past few decades.
