The Art of Mr. Nestler
Neue Galerie, Graz
A chronological selection (1967‑2014) of objects, installations and graphical works
As a sculptor, graphic artist, performer and art teacher, Norbert Nestler (1942-2014) had a longstanding influence on the art world in Graz. In a retrospective developed in cooperation with the artist, featuring final tube graphics devised for the staircase, Neue Galerie Graz is now presenting a chronological selection (1967-2014) of objects, installations and graphical works of the artist who passed away in January 2014. Originally a painter, Norbert Nestler explored the penetration of space. Expanding dimensions, he developed translucent graphics, portable sculptures, and parasitic objects. His oeuvre is closely linked to developments in materials and media since the 1960s, whose permeable properties he tested continuously. Unusual materials, experiments and performative actions are characteristic of Nestler's cross-media oeuvre. Curated by Katrin Bucher Trantow. Opening: 23.10.2014, 7 p.m.
