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.

What is it that motivates girls nowadays and what role models have been handed down to us from the past? Contemporary art often deals with images of girls in socially motivated contexts: coming of age, self-improvement trends – often in interaction with social media – fluid genders, issues surrounding diversity, interculturalism and inclusion.

With the exhibition Vertical Horizon, the Lentos Kunstmuseum is part of the international Kyiv Biennale 2025. Against the backdrop of ongoing wars, colonial continuities, and global inequalities, the Biennale serves as a space for reflection, solidarity, and critical engagement. The exhibition Vertical Horizon explores the notion of land and landscape as both poetic and political entities, tracing their development as a visual foundation of territorial identity.
