Erwin Bohatsch

More about the book

Erwin Bohatsch, born in 1951, numbers among the most important Austrian artists of his generation. And now, the Albertina is honouring his diverse output with a solo exhibition. Bohatsch’s oeuvre is characterised by a constant back-and-forth between figuration and abstraction, between colour and non-colour, and between line and surface. It also prominently features the question as to painting’s currency, a question that itself remains as current as ever. This catalogue juxtaposes the artist’s latest works with representative examples from the past few decades to explore a multifaceted kaleidoscope representing 40 years of unique and consistent creativity.
