Erwin Bohatsch

Erwin Bohatsch, born in 1951, numbers among the most important Austrian artists of his generation. And now, the Albertina is honouring his diverse output with a solo exhibition. Bohatsch’s oeuvre is characterised by a constant back-and-forth between figuration and abstraction, between colour and non-colour, and between line and surface. It also prominently features the question as to painting’s currency, a question that itself remains as current as ever.
This catalogue juxtaposes the artist’s latest works with representative examples from the past few decades to explore a multifaceted kaleidoscope representing 40 years of unique and consistent creativity.
