‘The Essl Collection’


December 7, 2020 – March 14, 2021
ALBERTINA MODERN, Vienna




This marks the first time that an overview of the Essl Collection’s historical depth and geographical breadth, ranging from American output to artworks from China, has been presented in Austria’s capital city—with 110 masterpieces created between 1960 and the present. The selected paintings, sculptures, objects, installations, and videos simultaneously provide an impression of the great diversity of media covered by the сollection and donated to the museum in 2017.

Work by Stephan Balkenhol, Chuck Close, Fang Lijun, Jonathan Meese, Albert Oehlen, Cindy Sherman, Frank Stella and Tal R is included.
