Modern, postmodern, Albertina modern
A new museum of modern and contemporary art has opened in Vienna. What an amazing museum! The Albertina modern, an annex of the world-renowned Albertina, comprises around 2,500 m2 in the completely refurbished Künstlerhaus. The Essl Collection and the Jablonka Collection, the two most important collections of Austrian art after 1945, serve as the foundation for the new art hotspot. Look forward to a world-class art museum.
The Albertina Modern is devoted entirely to modern, postmodern, and contemporary art. It is within a short distance from Albertina. A space has been made here to showcase the prominent figures in the art world from previous decades. The museum's holdings include works by Hermann Nitsch, Maria Lassnig, and Valie Export, as well as Friedensreich Hundertwasser, Christian Ludwig Attersee, and Gottfried Helnwein.
The Albertina Modern also focuses on significant national artists from the twentieth century to the present. The museum's collection includes Andy Warhol's and Roy Lichtenstein's pop art, as well as pieces by Damien Hirst, Jonathan Meese, and Anselm Kiefer. Over 60,000 artworks by 5,000 artists are on display at the new art hotspot.
