Collection König-Lebschik KUB Collection Showcase

Jun 27, 2020 - Aug 31, 2020
Thomas König and his late wife Erika Lebschik collected original prints by international artists for almost forty years. Born in Vorarlberg and long-time resident of Vienna, the collector maintains good contacts with both galleries and artists. The couple’s extensive collection covers the entire range of printmaking, from woodcuts, silkscreen prints, etchings, and lithographs, via artist portfolios and posters, to books with limited edition prints. One of the focuses of the collection is on international and Austrian contemporary art and their pioneering names, including such well-known artists as Pierre Alechinsky, Iris Andraschek, Karel Appel, Max Bill, Alexander Calder, Eduardo Chillida, Gunter Damisch, Martin Disler, VALIE EXPORT, Bruno Gironcoli, Franz Graf, Martha Jungwirth, Maria Lassnig, Joan Miró, Arnulf Rainer, Günther Selichar, Daniel Spoerri, Mark Toberg, Günther Uecker, Antoni Tàpies, and Franz West. The approximately 3,000 objects are now being presented as a gift to Kunsthaus Bregenz. The König-Lebschik Collection is being exhibited in the summer 2020 at the KUB Collection Showcase in the Old Post Office building.
