focus collection 01. Painting and Drawing focus collection is the title of a new exhibition series which regularly selects different aspects of the collection for closer examination. The aim is to explore the variety and the quality of the entire collection by placing the works in different contexts, showing them as dynamic and constantly changing, according to their nature. At the same time, the Museum is subject to continuous scrutiny of its central responsibility. The current exhibition deals with painting and drawing, the relation between the two genres and their development over the past 150 years. This is demonstrated in a selection of works – many of which are shown here for the first time – by 17 artists with a variety of methods, themes and approaches. The genres are displayed in the whole spectrum of their possibilities, from the ancillary tool of mimetic imaging to autonomous, self-referential resources, and in naturalistic, representational, figurative, abstract and non-representational contexts. Through the instructive chronological concept, the collection is also presented in the context of art history, and attention brought to the cross-regional relevance of the Carinthian artists' work. Artists: Hans Bischoffshausen | Hans (Jean) Egger | Bruno Gironcoli | Giselbert Hoke | Wolfgang Hollegha | Gustav Januš | Anton Kolig | Kurt Kocherscheidt | Alois Köchl | Peter Krawagna | Maria Lassnig | Franz Yang-Močnik | Valentin Oman | Hans Staudacher | Franz Wiegele | Ludwig Willroider | Reimo Wukounig |
