Table of contents

In radical Modernism, everything that had to that point only been painted, i.e. only represented, was replaced by reality, or by real things – so the premise of the exhibition to mark the new opening of the Neue Galerie in the Joanneum Quarter. As a response to the banishment of the objective world through abstract painting, Marcel Duchamp introduced real objects or “readymades” into art. Later, Actionism and Performance took the place of pictures of the human body, Land Art instead of the painted landscape, assemblages and installations instead of painted still lifes.

The Neue Galerie Graz reflects this fundamental shift from representation to reality with its own collections – with art from 1800 to the present day. The hypothesis is examined in ten chapters: Line – Colour – Light – Sound – Movement – Landscape – Still Life – Interiors – Bodies –– Interaction between Artwork and Viewer.

Viaggio in Italia - Italian Art 1960 - 1990 from the collection of Neue Galerie Graz and VAF-Foundation, Frankfurt am Main

[published on occasion of the exhibition „Viaggio in Italia ...“, 14.06.2008 - 25.01.2009] / Hg. Christa Steinle ; Gudrun Danzer. - Köln : König, 2008. - 376 p. : ill.

From 1963 to 1992 Neue Galerie had organized in Graz international biennials that had as their subjects different current themes of contemporary art. The first of these nowadays legendary "trigon" exhibitions showed works from Austria, Italy and Ex-Yugoslavia - the intention was to revive the historical cultural space of "Inner-Austria" (In later years also guest countries such as Germany, France, Great Britain, Spain, Ex-Czechoslovakia and Hungary were included).
Works from these exhibitions were bought for the collection as far as the funds permitted. In 1992 - after the collapse of Yugoslavia - Neue Galerie showed in an extensive exhibition with the title "Identity:Difference. Platform Trigon 1940-1990. A Topography of Modernity" (curators: Christa Steinle, Peter Weibel) a retrospect view of this series of exhibitions. The aim was to investigate the artistic contributions of these countries to the construction of modernity.
Alternating with the trigon biennials the trigon personal shows took place, presenting relevant artists from the Trigon countries, among them the Italians Gianni Colombo, Getulio Alviani, Bruno Munari, Mauro Reggiani, Aldo Mondino and Mimmo Germanà. Works for the collection were bought from these exhibitions, too.
From 1966 to 1992 Neue Galerie also organized in Styria once a year the "International Weeks of Painting" with artists from the Trigon countries. Art works from these workshops also remained in the collection. The artists' selection for both of these series of exhibitions was made by re-knowned art theoreticians. For Italy they were: Umbro Apollonio, Lea Vergine, Achille Bonito Oliva, Maurizio Calvesi, Amnon Barzel and Chiara Bertola.
The collection of Italian art works from the 1960s to the 1990s in the Neue Galerie stems to a great degree from the above-mentioned exhibitions. On the occasion of another personal show with works of Gianni Colombo (13.06. - 31.08.2008) this part of the collection will be scrutinized for the first time from a historical distance and a selection will be presented at our venues with the title "Viaggio in Italia. Italian Art 1960 - 1990 from the collection of Neue Galerie Graz" (13.06.2008 - 25.01.2009). We had the great fortune to win Volker W. Feierabend with his VAF Foundation as a partner, whose important loans strengthen and complement the collection of Neue Galerie and provide missing positions.
