EVENT LANGUAGE: GERMAN
The Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna is presenting a new series of works by the renowned Austrian jewellery artist Anna Heindl (born 1950) in the Kunstkammer.
The diptych ‘The Marriage of St Catherine’ (around 1400) by the so-called Master of Heiligenkreuz served as a central source of inspiration for Heindl’s latest creations. In an intensive artistic and researching process, Heindl explored the important work from the painting gallery, and puts 30 sculptural decorative objects into a delightful dialogue with the panel painting.
The exciting interplay between contemporary jewellery design and the Gothic sacred painting is a first for the Kunsthistorisches Museum in this form.
As part of VIENNA ART WEEK, a guided tour with the artist will take place in the Kunstkammer.
Registration required. FULLY BOOKED.
KUNSTHISTORISCHES MUSEUM WIEN
Built by Karl Hasenauer and Gottfried von Semper between 1871 and 1891, the Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien ranks among the most renowned museums in the world. Its magnificent architecture provides a worthy setting for collections the Habsburgs built over centuries. These encompass objects from five millennia, i.e. from the time of Ancient Egypt to the end of the 18th century.
