Flying High
Women Artists of Art Brut |
Until 23 JUNE 2019
Bank Austria Kunstforum | Vienna, Austria |
With 316 works by 93 women artists from 21 countries, Flying High will present for the first time a comprehensive survey on women artists of Art Brut, in all their diversity, their historical and contemporary dimensions, their international relevance. |
The term “Art Brut” – raw art or outsider art – has gained new dimensions in recent years and now goes beyond an exclusive focus on works from psychiatric institutions to include “mediumistic” artists (i.e., steered by a spirit), so-called “lone wolves”, and works by artists with disabilities. |
From 1860 until the present day, the exhibition will present highlights from the historic collections of psychiatrists Walter Morgenthaler and Hans Prinzhorn, a selection of masterpieces from the collection of artist Jean Dubuffet (who coined the term “Art Brut”), and from L’Aracine Collection. Major lenders: Stiftung Psychiatrie-Museum (Bern), Universitätsklinikum (Heidelberg), Collection de l’Art Brut (Lausanne), LaM (Villeneuve d'Ascq) as well as major international and Austrian private collectors. |
