One of the
most important compilations of modernist art in Europe is on display at the
Albertina Museum Wien in Austria for an unlimited time. Have you got any plans?Transcending
the realm of beauty, art is a vehicle for emotions and ideas, which crosses
language and cultural barriers and forms ties around the world through its
universal communication. It generates valuable artefacts that represent
societies, customs and beliefs in the past, present and future. Regarded by
many as the voice of society, it has been a human need for millennia, also
because it acts like a refuge for the mind, relieving stormy thoughts. We
therefore have a suggestion for you that will give you enough clarity to face
cloudy days: Monet to Picasso - The Batliner Collection, an extensive
collection donated by Herbert Batliner, one of the greatest collectors and
patrons of the arts. Covering a long period of the avant-garde, from
Impressionism, Fauvism and Expressionism to the second half of the 20th
century, the permanent exhibition features 500 works of classical modernism and
contemporary art, among which you will find important names that have marked
the different centuries. With the arrival of the works by Monet, Renoir,
Cézanne, Degas, Matisse and Braque, as well as the expressionist paintings by
Kirchner, Kandinsky and Nolde, a new chapter has been opened at the Albertina
Museum in Austria. Right through to the art of Picasso and Russian avant-garde
artists. Batliner continued his mission through the turn of the millennium, but
this time he added current works to the collection, so you will also find
paintings by Georg Baselitz, Anselm Kiefer, Alex Katz, Imi Knoebel and Arnulf
Rainer in the Albertina museum landscape. Consider The Batliner Collection
a place of worship. Think of the numerous chefs-d’oeuvre by Picasso that
are on display there, ranging from his early cubist paintings and works from
his mature period to paintings from the late experimental period. What Monet
and Picasso thought, felt, touched and materialised now lies before you, as a
legacy that also belongs to you.
