a survey of contemporary art
Terra Australis comes to Austria
The legend of Terra Australis dates back to Roman times being the unknown land of the South.
Now for the first time to Austria comes a group show of diverse Australian artists all of whom are friends .
Danie is an artist with Indigenous heritage whose work explores the often challenging intersections of Aboriginal and Western cultures.
Janet is focused on the environment and the impact of the world today on this.
Linde uses found objects to create extraordinary sculptural works
Tamara a former photo journalist is now using her skills to create extraordinary photographic images
These four artists are a great representation of contemporary art practise in Australia and I am delighted Hilger has taken this initiative to enable each of these artists to show for the first time in Vienna
Galerie Ernst Hilger
Galerie Ernst Hilger at Dorotheergasse 5 (first floor) in Vienna’s 1st district represents the works of artists such as Erró and Mel Ramos, along with exponents of Austrian modernism from the 1960s onward and the main exponents of the most important international art movements of the 20th century – from Pablo Picasso and Jean Dubuffet to Pop Art artists like Andy Warhol and Keith Haring through to Narrative Figuration (Jacques Monory).
Ernst Hilger was the head of the FEAGA for several years and member of numerous art fair committees including Art Basel; he acted as the longest-serving president of the Austrian Gallery Association and was instrumental in establishing the present conception of the role of galleries as partners of museums, collectors and representatives of the state. The roster of represented artists reflects the long history of the gallery.
