Art Brut from Japan
16 July – 18 October 2009
Art Brut from Japan

The exhibition presents, for the first time in Austria, the works of 15 autodidactic artists from Japan. These artists, who live on the fringe of Japanese society – many of them in psychiatric institutions – have each created, through their art, an individual world of their own, characterised by great aesthetic intensity. The paintings and graphics, sculptures and objects of these artists are presented together with touching documentary films that convey an impression of their lives, their particular circumstances and their ways of working. "Art Brut from Japan" was developed by the Collection de l'Art Brut in Lausanne, the internationally renowned museum for outsider art.

Picasso - Myths, Fables and Models
3 April – 5 July 2009
Pablo Picasso: Faun, eine Frau enthüllend

With more than 130 graphic works by Pablo Picasso, taken from five creative periods spanning approximately a decade each, the exhibition leads us into Picasso’s universe of motifs and obsessions. We encounter fabulous creatures from Greek mythology, such as the Minotaur or the centaurs, as well as the bullfight theme and several of Picasso’s favourite models. The exhibition, conceived especially for KUNST HAUS WIEN, presents works selected from the extensive collections of the Graphikmuseum Pablo Picasso Münster and offers unique insights into Picasso’s methods.

The Unknown Hundertwasser
20 November 2008 – 15 March 2009
Pablo Picasso: Faun, eine Frau enthüllend

The exhibition "The unknown Hundertwasser" was conceived to mark the 80th anniversary of the birth of Friedensreich Hundertwasser. Works were shown that have rarely or never been exhibited before, in particular paintings from private collections. Architecture projects planned by Hundertwasser and only completed after his death, applied art objects and designs, as well as a multimedia documentation rounded off the presentation. A catalogue, published by Prestel Verlag, Munich, accompanied the exhibition and is available in the Museum Shop.
