Collectors Agenda

In the Studio Florentina Holzinger, Vienna

Florentina Holzinger's work combines dance, theatre and performance art. Holzinger and her team work with the naked body, which is presented not only as an object, but tells the story of the dealing with the self. Through her work, Holzinger creates a collective aspect that transfers from the stage to the auditorium.

In the Studio Marc Henry, Vienna

Marc Henry’s painterly worlds, presented on coarse canvas, are hallucinogenic and enigmatic. Henry uses digital images created on a computer, as sketches for his analogue works, through which he explores reality in a post-factual age.

In the Studio Erwin Kneihsl, Vienna

Erwin Kneihsl’s photographic practice is characterised by a radical reduction that stems from a deep understanding of materiality, process and perception. Building on classical training in analogue photography, he has developed a visual language that consistently focuses on elementary motifs, foremost among them the sun as a universal constant.

Collector Stories Johanna and Friedrich Gräfling, Wiesen, Germany

The program that Johanna and Friedrich Gräfling have completed in terms of art over the past ten years is actually more than enough for three lifetimes. They have founded an experimental exhibition space in Aschaffenburg, established the “Salon Kennedy” in Frankfurt am Main, a place for exhibitions and discourse on art, architecture and design, founded an art association, converted a barn into a residence, and built up a distinguished art collection with an international reputation, including works by Alicia Kwade, Simon Fujiwara, and Michael Sailstorfer.
