Kunstforum Wien \u2013 pioneer in art dissemination<\/h3>\n

The Kunstforum Wien is permanently closed.<\/em><\/p>\n

Kunstforum Wien: the exhibition space of Bank Austria<\/h3>\n

The house was the flagship of the cultural engagement of UniCredit Bank Austria. Moreover, it was the most successful privately-run exhibition house in Austria. It was characterized by a strong focus on service and customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n

International partners<\/h3>\n

Under the leadership of Ingried Brugger, the Kunstforum Wien maintained close relationships with renowned institutions. These included, for example, the Tate Modern and the Royal Academy in London as well as the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. Likewise, the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam were part of the network. In addition, the Haus collaborated with the Kunsthaus Z\u00fcrich and the Fondation Beyeler in Basel. This resulted in multinational exhibitions.<\/p>\n

The main focus was on classical modernism and avant-garde art; in addition, the house also devoted itself to artists of the post-war era.<\/p>\n

Exhibitions from recent years<\/h3>\n

In the spring of 2021, the Haus presented an exhibition of works by Daniel Spoerri. It brought together more than 100 key works by the universal artist. After that, the Kunstforum Wien dedicated Rebecca Horn\u2019s first comprehensive exhibition of works in Austria in nearly 30 years. From October 2023 to January 2024, \u201eRobert Motherwell \u2013 Pure Painting\u201c was on view. This was the first retrospective of the American artist in Austria since 1976. Subsequently, \u201eGauguin \u2013 unexpected\u201c was on view from October 2024. Likewise, the Haus presented exhibitions on Helmut Newton and Roberto Matta.<\/p>\n
