On the occasion of this year's Christmas celebrations, the Heidi Horten Collection is presenting a sculpture by Tillman Kaiser from December 4, 2023 to February 2, 2024, for which he translates the shape of the Christmas tree into his characteristic artistic language. The composition of rhythmic folds is made up of two parts that interlock like an "above" and a "below". The artist counteracts the strict symmetrical form of the sculpture by integrating elements that he has taken from a non-art context. A mirrored glass body forms the center of the sculpture, while a wire spiral hangs from above and extends into the form. Both objets trouvés are transformed by their new context and become charged with content. read more

The exhibition featured a selection of high-caliber artworks from the Heidi Horten Collection, curated in three thematic categories that represent the collection's principal content areas: Expressionism, especially in its German variant; art from the 1960s and 1970s, with a specific emphasis on U.S., Italian, and German positions and painting and sculpture in the field of tension between figuration and abstraction. Visitors of the museum were able to play a significant role in the exhibition concept. They had the opportunity to select around twenty artworks from the collection, either on-site or through social media, which will then get permanently displayed in a special area of the museum. read more

The 2023 year’s summer exhibition at the Heidi Horten Collection invited to rendezvous with artists from the collection whose lives were touched by France; the exhibition followed them there to places representing a significant stage in their artistic development. Taken together, the importance of Paris is reflected – but also that of the Midi, the south of France — as catalyst and breeding ground for the emergence and dissemination of significant art movements of the twentieth century. read more

The Heidi Horten Collection is home to a masterpiece by Gustav Klimt entitled Church in Unterach on Lake Attersee, created between 1915 and 1916. The artwork will be featured in one of the “Kabinett” rooms alongside graphic works by artists of the same period. These works are juxtaposed in dialogue with contemporary works from the Heidi Horten Collection. The unifying element is the square – Klimt's trademark, as it were – which gained exceptional popularity in "Vienna around 1900" and has since been adopted by an astonishing number of contemporary artists. read more

In celebration of the upcoming holiday season, the Heidi Horten Collection presents Manfred Erjautz's work Under the Weight of Light from December 12, 2022 to February 2, 2023. With his sculpture made of fluorescent tubes, electric cables and ropes floating in the architecture of the museum, the artist counteracts the traditional image of the Christmas tree. The sculpture's cool sobriety and intense radiance simultaneously highlight its significance as a bearer of light. In the Tea Room of the museum, Erjautz also presents recent works under the title Fragments of a beauty, which allow the concept of time to appear in the field of tension between objective measurability and subjective perception. read more
