Picture this! The Belvedere Collection from Cranach to EXPORT
Frueauf, Messerschmidt, Waldm眉ller, Funke, Klimt, Prinner, Lassnig: the newly presented permanent collection at the Upper Belvedere offers a look at art through the eyes of the artists. Their (self-)portraits will provide insight into the methods and working environments of their respective epochs. In response to political and social changes, migration, and other upheavals, the artists not only reflected their times but also shaped them.
The Belvedere is gradually redesigning the exhibition of its permanent collection in preparation for 2023鈥攚hen, in keeping with its 300th-anniversary theme GOLDEN SPRING, the collection will shine in new splendor come March. The focus will be on the relationship between artists and their times: How did they act in their respective "operating systems"? How did they respond in the face of upheavals and crises? What was the process of artistic work? And what was the international orientation of art during the different eras?
A chronological tour takes visitors through 800 years of artistic production 鈥� from the Middle Ages to the 1970s. The narrative is framed by ten portraits of artists, each illustrating production conditions and developments during their respective times. Color wayfinding systems, media stations, and additional visual resources such as maps, statistics, documents, and photographs enhance the visitor鈥檚 experience with the renowned Belvedere collection.
