Galerie Gerersdorfer: Art Austria 08
Austrian art, even after 1980
Works by nearly all of the Austrian artists represented by Horst Gerersdorfer are currently displayed at his gallery. Ranging from Hermann Nitsch, Hans Staudacher, and Hubert Schmalix to the young Robert Muntean and Bianca Regl. Unfortunately there is neither a catalogue nor any detailed information describing the works and the artists, but admittedly - such an endeavour would have surpassed the capacity of any gallery.
Like most cross-section exhibits this one is also a compromise; some of the works go unappreciated or seem to be lost in the abundance of art shown. Among them Edgar Honetschläger’s dainty, beautiful aquarelles, not wider than 15 cm, which are positioned much too low. Singular are also the works by Erwin Bohatsch and Deborah Sengl.
One could regret that fact that only paintings and graphics are shown, but actually this is consistent. This second Art Austria 08 is a refreshing supplement to the same named fair at the Museumsquartier (14. – 18. May 2008), where no contemporary art was to be seen. If you are interested in getting an impression about the Austrian art scene, this is the right place to visit. Being able to see such a wide range of art at one venue does not happen often.
