Katharina Murschetz - Kunsthalle Wien
The Sojourn in Germany 1964/65
The focus of the exhibition is on those works, which were created in the years 1964/65, during her stay in Germany - the country she and her family had been forcibly expelled from in 1938. The time spent in Germany marks a kind of methodological turning point in her work - a move away from painting and drawing towards collages and sculptural, plastic art works. On the content side, it marked a reduction of figural elements in favour of a linear and monochromatic minimalisation. The exhibition shows 60 drawings, collages, gouaches and relief works.
