Art Goes to the Country

"Art Goes to the Country" offers an opportunity to view art where it is made and talk with the artists directly. This year we are visiting Max Holzapfel (St. Roman), Sepp Auer (Sankt Peter am Hart) and Maria Gruber (Gaspoltshofen).

The painter Max Holzapfel focuses primarily on the depiction of landscape. His paintings create fascinating interrelationships between the art of painting traditions of the past and generations of artists. A series of his diptychs is currently being exhibited at the Galerie Pehböck in Naarn. Sepp Auer, for many years professor at the University of Applied Art in Vienna, deals with sculptures in an engagement with Minimal Art and Arte Povera. The aquarelle artist Maria Gruber has increasingly been attracting attention recently with her sacral glass works. Glass and aquarelle have much in common, not least of all their permeability for light and color.
