For the first time in Austria, a major retrospective is paying tribute to Erna Rosenstein (1913–2004), a key figure of the postwar Polish avant-garde.
Against the backdrop of the Shoah and political upheavals in Poland, her works bear witness to the resilience of an artist who never wavered in her political convictions and artistic ideals.
In a career spanning six decades, Rosenstein developed a multimedia visual cosmos that reveals how the present is woven together with memories of the past and how collective and individual experiences are intertwined.

Unteres Belvedere
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Modern Gallery was founded in the former private rooms of Prince Eugene of Savoy at the request of the Secessionists. To this day, temporary exhibitions are presented here with their finger on the pulse of the times. They place works from the Belvedere Collection in an international context or confront the baroque palace with contemporary positions.
