The collection is the heart and the soul of our museum. The basic idea underpinning this presentation of the museum’s collection is restoring the chronological sequence of works, which will allow visitors to get to know the most important movements and styles of art history from the 19th century to the present in the original. In addition to this, we are putting the focus on artists who have a special relationship with Linz and the Lentos, such as VALIE EXPORT and Herbert Bayer.

The multimedia exhibition ”Touch Nature” showcases international artists and their takes on the devastating political, economic, ecological and humanitarian consequences of the Anthropocene. It becomes quite clear in the process that, in addition to documenting grievances and formulating strategies of resistance, these artists also provide blueprints for utopias.

The exhibition takes as its inspiration the play Mother Courage and Her Children, one of the most famous anti-war dramas of the 20th century. Bertolt Brecht’s legendary work is set in various locations of the Thirty Years’ War. Wachsmuth’s works reflect the impact of violence and war on people. Violence and power are also issues addressed in the work entitled Saligia, a cluster of cast bronze human arms symbolising the seven deadly sins – Saligia is an acronym formed from the initial letters of the Latin terms for these sins.
