The presentation of Contemporary III currently on view shows some 150 works from the Albertina’s extensive and constantly growing collections of contemporary art. This time the show focuses on the artistic juxtaposition of international approaches with Austrian art production, including most recent positions.
Ever since the establishment of the Albertina in 1776, the interest in contemporary art production has lastingly been echoed in its new acquisitions. In continuation of this interest of the very first hour, which was already pursued by the collection’s founder, Albert of Saxony-Teschen, both the museum’s collection and exhibition policies have corroborated the Albertina’s affinity for contemporary artwork on paper to this very day. Hence the display of the museum’s own holdings of contemporary art - a practice that offers insights into the most recent chapter of art history - is one of the core responsibilities of the Albertina that is rooted in a long tradition.
