Museum of Modern Art
The mumok - Museum of Modern Art Ludwig Foundation Vienna in the MuseumsQuartier focuses on art from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Visitors are invited to interact with works by Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg, Pablo Picasso, Yoko Ono, Günter Brus, and Gerhard Richter.
The mumok mixes highlights of sociological and reality-related art, as well as performance art, with collections based on Pop Art and Photorealism, Fluxus and Nouveau Réalisme, and Viennese Actionism. Around 9,000 pieces are included in the collection, which includes paintings, sculptures, installations, drawings, graphics, pictures, videos, films, architectural models, and furniture.
Pop Art is represented by works by Andy Warhol and Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, as well as Fluxus and Nouveau Réalisme by Daniel Spoerri, Nam June Paik, Yoko Ono, George Brecht, and Marcel Duchamp. With works by Günter Brus, Otto Muehl, Hermann Nitsch, and Rudolf Schwarzkogler, Viennese Actionism, Austria's radical and most important contribution to the international growth of the Avant-garde movement, is excellently chronicled. The mumok also includes a few key Classical-Modern paintings (by Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee, and Piet Mondrian, among others).
