PICTURES ABOUT PICTURES
Discursive painting from Albers to Zobernig From the Daimler Art Collection
26 March - 27 June 2010
With around 130 works–paintings, drawings, installations and video art – Pictures about Pictures represents the main focus of the Daimler Art Collection in the area of abstract avantgarde and reductive/conceptual tendencies. The presentation in the MUMOK is organized into thematic fields that stage discursive references to historical and current positions: Bauhaus and De Stijl; Hard Edge and New Color School USA; constructive and concrete tendencies; European Zero avantgarde; minimalism and aspects of design; Neo Geo and international contemporary art. Thus the works of the approximately 75 artists span some twenty countries and a hundred years, from 1908 (Adolf Hölzel) to 2007 (Eva Berendes).
