JAKOB GASTEIGER. Post radical painting at the Albertina
Although Jakob Gasteiger startet his career when the Austrian "Neue Wilde" painters like Brandl, Damisch, Anzinger, Bohatsch, Mosbacher, Reinhold, Scheibl, Schmalix got famous, his work is completely different - abstract, not expressive, minimalistic. In his work Gasteiger experiments with paint, with the material not the color. Now the Albertina museum in Vienna has a retrospective of his work on display and we asked Albertina Direktor Klaus Albrecht Schröder to introduce us to his work and the exhibition.
