24 of Klimt's paintings are at the heart of Vienna's Belvedere collection, including masterpieces such as The Kiss and Judith. In the early 20th century, Klimt was commissioned to paint the magnificent dome for the Festival Hall of the University of Vienna. The "Academic Paintings" he created caused great controversy with their unidealized allegorical figures, unfamiliar symbols and shocking erotic elements. Unfortunately, the originals are now lost and only black and white photographs remain. This year, the Belvedere Museum in Vienna has partnered with Google to use artificial intelligence and imaging technology to reveal the original colors of the reconstructed works, providing the world with a new perspective on this greatest Austrian artist.

Hans Haacke (* 1936) is a legend of political conceptual art – at the same time, his work is highly topical and of great relevance today. As a founding figure of artistic institutional critique, Haacke redefined the relationship between art and society and influenced generations of artists. From the 1960s onward, Hans Haacke first reflected on biological, physical, and ecological systems, then turned his attention to sociopolitical structures and subjected them to a precise, often ruthless analysis. He thus addressed the abuse of power, mechanisms of exclusion and inequality, historical-political distortions, the entanglements of public institutions, politics, and economics, and, last but not least, anti-democratic tendencies. The exhibition invites you to rediscover the relevance of Hans Haacke's art and to grasp its significance for pressing questions of our time: How do capital, ideology, and history influence us? What images, rhetorics, and manipulative strategies does nationalist populism employ? What about the complicity of the art field, but also the critical potential of art? The retrospective illuminates the versatility of this work in a comprehensive selection from all creative periods from 1959 to the present. In addition to numerous iconic works, it also includes those projects that Hans Haacke developed specifically for the Austrian context.

In its spring exhibition, the Kunsthistorisches Museum presents masterpieces by Pieter Bruegel d. E., Giuseppe Arcimboldo, Jacopo and Leandro Bassano as well as other outstanding artists of the 16th century. century.

In its 29th edition, the special presentation Point of View, which regularly presents different artworks temporarily in the permanent exhibition of the Picture Gallery of the Kunsthistorische Museum, focuses on a masterful portrait of the nine-month-old Princess Maria Teresa of Naples and Sicily, allowing visitors to explore the work of the court painters Anton Raphael Mengs and Diego Velázquez. In 1770, Anton Raphael Mengs (1728–1779), the celebrated court painter to King Charles III of Spain, returned to Italy to relax and at the same time to create portraits on behalf of his employer: in Naples he was to portray, among others, the family of King Ferdinand IV and his wife Maria Carolina of Austria. A highlight of this work can be seen as the now freshly restored portrait of Marie-Therese of Bourbon-Sicily, which shows the royal couple's first-born daughter. The portrait of the approximately nine-month-old princess impresses with its artistic sophistication. With it, Mengs created a work that combines traditional representation with a new naturalness and liveliness. The picture thus reflects a changed conception of childhood that became widespread in the 18th century - influenced by the educational ideas of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, which Maria Carolina particularly valued.

In cooperation with the National Gallery of Slovenia, the Belvedere is presenting the highlights of Slovenian painting from the era of national emancipation, from the revolutionary year of 1848 to the collapse of the Danube Monarchy in 1918. The exhibition focuses on the central characteristic of local painterly approaches of this period: the intensive preoccupation with color. The study of its decorative effect, symbolism, expressiveness, and technical application was rarely as central to artistic movements as it was in Slovenian painting around 1900. Following the outstanding painter of the Vormärz period, Jožef Tominc, fascinating figures such as Jožef Petkovšek and Ivana Kobilca achieved their breakthrough in the second half of the 19th century. Around the turn of the century, the group of so-called Slovenian Impressionists, around Rihard Jakopič, Ivan Grohar, Matija Jama, and Matej Sternen, established itself. Their style shaped Slovenian art until 1918 and beyond. The exhibition particularly focuses on the ambivalent relationship between Slovenian artists and Austria and the capital, Vienna. Several artists studied or lived temporarily in Vienna, Graz, or Lower Austria. This ambivalence was characterized by a sense of latent exclusion and simultaneous dependence on state funding. Numerous documents from the Belvedere archive shed new, differentiated light on the cultural-political connections between Vienna and Ljubljana.

From February 2025, the Kunsthistorisches Museum will be dedicating an exhibition to the now largely forgotten artist Daniel Neuberger (1621-1680) and his impressive art of deception. This will be the first time ever he is honoured with a retrospective exhibition. Daniel Neuberger and the Art of deception demonstrates the master's virtuosity in sculpting with wax and imitating a wide variety of materials and surfaces. His artworks, frequently measuring no more than a few centimetres, were highly sought-after all over Europe and still impress today with their eye-deceiving illusionism.

The aim of the exhibition is to emphasize the role of the medal as an object of art. Moreover, it will illuminate how the role of artists developed from the universal genius of the Renaissance and early Baroque to specialists for separate genres of the arts during the later years of the monarchy. The exhibition Imperial Impressions is dedicated to artists who were active at Habsburg courts and residences. It focuses on masters who were at ease in several genres of the arts, such as architecture, painting, and sculpture. It is the fact that they also made medals that warranted their inclusion in this exhibition, however. As the objects on display were mostly produced for members of the imperial family, they were of the highest quality. The period of the presented artists ranges from around 1500 to the end of the monarchy in 1918. The exhibition will show significant medals and provide in-depth context. The presentation of renowned works together with exceptional works from the field of medal-making art introduces visitors to a new, unusual viewpoint at familiar objects from the collection. The exhibition comprises about eighty works: medals, coins, paintings, gemstones, ivory and goldsmithery. Most object stem from the museum’s own collection, complemented by loans from the Numismatic Collection at the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin and from the Tyrolean Landesmuseen.

The New York Times has called Matthew Wong »one of the most talented painters of his generation.« This Chinese-Canadian artist straddled the frontier between Far-Eastern and Western art and was influenced equally by van Gogh and Shitao, both of whom significantly figured in his individual development. Wong, who committed suicide at age 35, was an autodidact who came late to art: his impressive oeuvre arose during a brief period encompassing his final eight years of life. The artist engaged with modernist stances as well as with varieties of expressive art produced by his contemporaries. This exhibition is conceived as a juxtaposition of around 44 paintings and 12 works on paper by Wong with selected works by van Gogh. It is being mounted in cooperation with the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Kunsthaus Zürich, and the Matthew Wong Foundation.

The Bank Austria Kunstforum Wien is dedicating its spring show to Anton Corbijn - an artist who works across media with photography, film and design and has significantly influenced the way we perceive pop culture since the 1970s. In the course of his international career spanning more than five decades, countless iconic, mostly black-and-white portraits of artists from music, film, literature, art and fashion have been created, which form the focus of the exhibition, which takes place around the artist's 70th birthday.

The special presentation Vitrine EXTRA, which periodically showcases different ancient objects as temporary additions to the permanent exhibition at the Collection of Greek and Roman Antiquities in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, explores the colorful traces of Greco-Roman antiquity in its sixth edition. Based on a relief depicting the god of light, Mithras, the presentation highlights the vibrant polychromy of Roman statues and monuments – impressively showcasing how colorful they originally were!

Leonardo da Vinci and Albrecht Dürer in a double pack in the Albertina: Drawing in light and dark is "the beginning and the gateway to painting" - as Cennino Cennini put it in a famous treatise on painting around 1400. On coloured primed paper, it was often possible to work in the dark, but also in the light, with breathtaking virtuosity. This opened up completely new aesthetic experiences for artists and their audiences. Master drawings such as Leonardo's head studies or Dürer's Praying Hands paved the way for the recognition of drawing as an art form equal to painting and are still among the most famous works of the Renaissance today.

I have often called my pictures "painted music". Or I have spoken of "making music with colours and forms". (Arnold Schönberg, 1930) In addition to a large selection of paintings and drawings, the extensive show presents music autographs, writings, letters, photographs, catalogues and ephemera from the archive that contextualise Schönberg's years of painting. Contemporaries from the visual arts enter into a written dialogue with the painting composer. Digitally animated scores, film clips and voices from the past take you into a world that only seems to have disappeared.

Maria Hahnenkamp (* 1959, Eisenstadt) has been working with, through, about, and also against the medium of photography and its specific devices since the late 1980s. As an artist's artist, she has been known for decades for her media-critical and feminist artistic work and is a seminal figure in Austrian contemporary art history. Belvedere 21 will dedicate its first major institutional solo exhibition to Maria Hahnenkamp in spring 2025. The central themes of the exhibition are emptiness, space, craftsmanship, and ornament. With a selection of around 100 works, she will present, among other works, photographs, works with photographic paper, slide projections, video works, installations, and in-situ wall drillings in an architecture by Walter Kräutler.

Join us at Bards Alley for a discussion between author and former CIA intelligence officer Christina Hillsberg and the Badass Women's Book Club founder Gina Warner. They will be in conversation about Christina's newest release, Agents of Change: The Women Who Transformed the CIA, an exploration of the pioneering women who changed the world of espionage, from the 1960s to present-day. The event will take place at Bards Alley Bookshop in Vienna, VA on Thursday, June 26th at 6:00PM. You may reserve a book under your name as an add-on, but additional copies will be available for purchase during the event, and Christina will be signing copies after her discussion. About the book: Years after her successful and impactful career at the CIA, Christina Hillsberg became enthralled with the stories of the trailblazing women who forged new paths within the Agency long before she began her career there in the aughts. These were women who sacrificed their personal lives, risked their safety, defied expectations, and boldly navigated the male-dominated spy organization. Through exclusive interviews with current and former female CIA officers, many of whom have never spoken publicly, Agents of Change tells an enthralling and, at times, disturbing story set against the backdrop of the evolving women’s movement. It was in the 1960s, a “secretarial” era, when women first gained a foothold and pushed against the one-dimensional, pop-culture trope of the sexy Cold War Bond Girl. Underestimated but undaunted, they fought their way, decade by decade, through adversity to the top of the spy game. Seamlessly weaving together the individual stories of these exceptional women, Hillsberg deftly tackles not just the fight for gender equality at the CIA but also the current dilemma the Agency faces when dealing with the culmination of a decades-long culture of sexual harassment and assault. Each chapter sheds a light on women’s issues during a different decade before bringing to life the stories of female CIA operations officers whose experiences were emblematic of that given era. In this fascinating and empowering chronicle, Hillsberg takes readers inside the Agency in a way that’s never been done before, paying long-overdue tribute to the survivors and thrivers, the indispensable groundbreakers, and the defiant rabble-rousers who made the choice to change their lives and, in turn, changed history.
