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 exhibition at the Lentos Kunstmuseum demonstrates the breathtaking modernity of the painter Jean Egger, whose works anticipated the art of the post-war years as early as the 1920s and 1930s.

The central focus of Anita Witek’s artistic œuvre is collage and the attendant processes of collecting, selecting and rearranging visual documents. Her works address the subliminal influence of pictures appearing in the mass media on the way we perceive reality and the truth.
