Alex Katz. De Sculptura (group show)

This new presentation on the second upper level of Albertina Klosterneuburg maximizes the effect of the prizewinning architecture of Heinz Tesar, with its theme of a wave on the Danube reflected in the abstract undulating lines of the works. This is the museum’s first-ever dedicated presentation of sculptures inviting the general public to discover the Albertina Museum’s important sculpture collection through its exhibition of selected highlights.

The overarching motto at Albertina Klosterneuburg in 2025 is De Sculptura.This year’s presentation explores sculpture’s significance as a theme in present-day art and to the museum itself: De Sculptura provides an impression of output by established and younger Austrian and international artists from the Albertina Museum’s collection of contemporary art, which is currently diversifying in terms of featured media with innovative new emphases. 

With works made of aluminum, steel, wire, concrete, wood, papier-mâché, wool, and found materials, a sculptural theme extends across all of the exhibition halls and bears witness to sculpture’s contemporary diversity. This collection presentation features not only new sculptural approaches but also instances of interplay with classic art forms such as painting and drawing as well as installation art.
