On the occasion of the exhibition Kiki Kogelnik: Now is the Time in the Bank Austria Kunstforum, the AnzenbergerGallery is showing vintage photographs from the work of Michael Horowitz, which show Kogelnik and other personalities.
More than 50 years ago, 18-year-old photographer Michael Horowitz visited rising pop art icon Kiki Kogelnik in New York. In America, the communicative young woman soon made contact with the New York art scene around Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg and Roy Lichtenstein. At that time, the extravagant performer creates space art images and hangings sculptures from body outlines in vinyl - which she hangs on coat hooks. Works that are among her most important today.
In addition to Kiki Kogelnik's never-before-seen vintage photos from the years of his creation, Horowitz is presenting unique vintage human images in the AnzenbergerGallery, from Arnold Schwarzenegger, whom he photographed in the early 1970s, to Thomas Bernhard, Helmut Qualtinger and the young Senta Berger.
Regina Anzenberger »Roots & Bonds«
At our Collector's Room we are showing a selection of Regina Anzenberger's works from her series 'Roots & Bonds' on occasion of the publication of the second edition of the book.
„It all started with a tree in the winter forest that particularly caught my eye during one of my walks with my dog Shakeera. I kept going back there over an entire year and photographed the tree in every season. What especially fascinated me were the vines which elegantly wound themselves down to the ground from a branch, creating an image of endless bonds. The forest as the source of inspiration and energy for all creativity, the roots and bonds became my theme." (Regina Anzenberger)
Gerry Badger writes in his review for 1000 Words magazine: 'In Roots & Bonds, Regina Anzenberger has given us what might be termed the psychological landscape – comfortingly familiar yet also edgy, distinctly uncomfortable but distinctly interesting.'
exhibition goes from February 1 to May 5, 2023
opening hours: Wednesday to Friday from 12 – 6 pm or on appointment
