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.

Lentos is presenting the first solo museum exhibition of the Austrian artist Georg Pinteritsch (*1986). His works display an unmistakable visual language: Art-historical symbolism, Christian iconography and elements of our everyday visual culture are interwoven into seemingly surreal narratives. Fundamental themes of human existence form the heart of his oeuvre and reveal intimate pictorial spaces in which the past, present and future coalesce to create an intricate whole.
