Two artists. Two cities. Deventer, Berlin. Overcoming distance, developing, contrasting and merging - just like a decades-long friendship. We can see exactly this in their work. Movement and dance are the main components of the exhibition. Both, Ellen Korth and Hadmut Bittiger, have been incorporating dance into their work for several years. A common thread in the work of the artist Hadmut Bittiger is the profanity of the materials, which have their origins in industrial production and can be found in people's everyday lives. She transforms these into artistic works through experimental and craftsmanship sophistication. The love of material in the form of Japanese papers is also known from Ellen Korth, who has already shown her work in several exhibitions at the AnzenbergerGallery. Three photos of each of them that amazed them. That's what they decided to start with. Berlin and Deventer – it takes a trip. But it's the meeting that counts. Through their work. From two to One.

The series "Unattainable Beauty" addresses the unrealistic ideals of beauty that continue to be conveyed through advertising and social media, despite contrary movements in recent years. The perfect representations of the advertising industry create pressure to conform to a certain body type or fashion standards. To address these absurd ideals of beauty, which are hard to escape in everyday life, artificial creatures have been created from flowers - the symbol of beauty and youth par excellence - that pose like models in front of the camera. The new "superflowers", which are obviously not naturally grown, represent an unattainable beauty that has been artificially created. The fascinating creatures seduce the viewer with their unusual appearance and at the same time raise questions about the manipulative flood of images in advertising and social media, but also about the artificial optimization of outward appearance in general.
The photographs for Regina Anzenberger's new works were taken during a trip through Tasmania in March 2024. Fascinated by the shapes of nature, she photographed the rocks in a riverbed and the flowers that cast their shadows on them. She uses her camera to capture structures and details of the landscape and give them special meaning. In the instant photographs shown here entitled ROCKS, the theme of natural forms is continued through painterly and graphic representations. In particular, the shadows of flowers, which cast their patterns on the objects depicted, were incorporated into the images and thereby highlighted. They do not stick to the boundaries of photography, but rather go beyond them and imaginatively continue the existing motif. These extensions give the photographs a new dimension and offer the viewer a poetic interpretation of the natural conditions. In addition, Regina Anzenberger integrated finds from the area around the river into her work. These objects from nature, such as leaves or branches, create a symbolic connection to the place of origin of the work, which is emphasized in her works.
Artists: Denis Brudna, F & D Cartier, Jutta Fischel, Natalie Strohmaier, Heather F. Wetzel, Yelena Zhavoronkova, Laurent Ziegler.

In a time of crisis and war, flowers provide a glimmer of hope and radiate calm and peace through their beauty. Scientists have long since extensively researched the services that they offer us through their colors and shapes, especially in the gloomy winter time. And not just as real specimens in the vase or pot, but also as pictures on the wall.
The AnzenbergerGallery is showing seven positions by Austrian and international artists who have dedicated themselves to the theme of flowers. Using a variety of photography-based techniques, works full of aesthetics, humor, fantasy, perfection and poetry were created.

Roots & Waltz was inspired by a walk through the forest in the Danube riverlands in Vienna. It all started during the pandemic, when we were stuck in Vienna and a friend took me there. Having grown up in the countryside and having lived in Vienna for over 30 years, I had been used to leaving the city when I longed to be in nature. It was at this point that I noticed that my Viennese friends who grew up in the city tended to go to the Prater-Auen - Vienna's ‘Central Park’ – which used to be the emperor’s hunting grounds more than 100 years ago. I have always found this area a bit spooky, but I knew the forest there was very wild, and that the forms of nature I usually look out for would be wonderful there. My work reflects my life. After the pandemic, the war in Ukraine began. Conditions had changed for the whole world. I asked myself about the essence of life, the roots and the future of the planet. The forest has always given me a lot of energy and I felt my soul begin to dance as I walked through the Donau-Auen forest – one could almost say that, in my mind, I was ‘dancing to the Blue Danube Waltz’ …
Roots & Waltz is the fourth installment of a series of books dedicated to nature and the mirror of the soul, following Roots & Bonds (2015), Goosewalk (2019) and Shifting Roots (2020)

For the last twenty years of his life, Cy Twombly returned annually to Lexington, his hometown in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. As evidence of his attachment, he bought a house, and during extended visits in both spring and fall, he created a number of important works in modest studios he rented nearby. In large part, however, he spent his days observing the rhythms of the small college town, taking long reflective drives in the countryside, and exploring entertainments with a small circle of acquaintances. One of those was photographer Rob McDonald.
Over the years, McDonald made many of photographs of Twombly’s home and storefront studio in Lexington’s downtown, typically with the artist himself present. There was not much conversation during those times, but when McDonald shared the images with Twombly, he always seemed curious to see what had caught the photographer’s eye.
The exhibition is organized around three views of places where Twombly worked and which serve as touchstones for McDonald’s reflections on their many conversations about topics ranging from Twombly’s life and work to curiosities of life in the local community.

At our Collector's Room we are showing a selection of Regina Anzenberger's works from her series 'Roots & Bonds' on occasion of the publication of the second edition of the book.
„It all started with a tree in the winter forest that particularly caught my eye during one of my walks with my dog Shakeera. I kept going back there over an entire year and photographed the tree in every season. What especially fascinated me were the vines which elegantly wound themselves down to the ground from a branch, creating an image of endless bonds. The forest as the source of inspiration and energy for all creativity, the roots and bonds became my theme." (Regina Anzenberger)
Gerry Badger writes in his review for 1000 Words magazine: 'In Roots & Bonds, Regina Anzenberger has given us what might be termed the psychological landscape – comfortingly familiar yet also edgy, distinctly uncomfortable but distinctly interesting.'

On the occasion of the exhibition Kiki Kogelnik: Now is the Time in the Bank Austria Kunstforum, the AnzenbergerGallery is showing vintage photographs from the work of Michael Horowitz, which show Kogelnik and other personalities.
More than 50 years ago, 18-year-old photographer Michael Horowitz visited rising pop art icon Kiki Kogelnik in New York. In America, the communicative young woman soon made contact with the New York art scene around Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg and Roy Lichtenstein. At that time, the extravagant performer creates space art images and hangings sculptures from body outlines in vinyl - which she hangs on coat hooks. Works that are among her most important today.
In addition to Kiki Kogelnik's never-before-seen vintage photos from the years of his creation, Horowitz is presenting unique vintage human images in the AnzenbergerGallery, from Arnold Schwarzenegger, whom he photographed in the early 1970s, to Thomas Bernhard, Helmut Qualtinger and the young Senta Berger.

For her book project Under the Apple Tree photographer Regina Anzenberger invited her family members to portrait sessions and condensed the resulting works into an album. The pictures were taken with a Rolleiflex camera, mostly outdoors, in gardens that refer to the apple tree in the title. Analog technology is a crucial element of the series. Today, it is an anachronism, just as the photo album or the family portrait genre itself is. All the small steps that are necessary for the analog process: inserting the film, focusing, rewinding – and the mystery of an image that is created without being immediately visible – contribute to its ritual character. The eponymous apple tree is both an actual setting, anchored in the photographer's biography, and a mythical place: a place of longing to which there is no return and which is not dissimilar to photography, which always powerfully evokes a present that is always already past.

La festa è finita is a large Salento luminaria. This work is a reflection on the time we are living in, which revolves around those concepts of polarity, ambiguity and contrast that the pandemic has further highlighted. The piece plays on the contrast between the joyful structures of the traditional festivals in southern Italy, where Florence Di Benedetto comes from - she was born in Bari and spent part of her youth in Palermo - and an extremely raw message that reflects the current state of things. Today is a time when the possibility of partying, of crowding the streets, of being together in a colorful parade, shoulder to shoulder, has become impossible. In the past few years, Florence has seen all her childhood memories recede even further. The twinkling of lights that attracts the viewers’ attention faces them with a different reading that oscillates between signified and signifier: what we see refers to a magical atmosphere that is rich in references, to collective popular and family rituals, but also transports us to a dimension of loneliness and sadness through a lapidary phrase. At the end of a party, there is nothing left but a reality that is far from the glitz of fun and leaves no space for imagination and creativity. This project inspired a series of photographs snapped during the lockdown. Here, the protagonist is the sculpture. The search for different settings, the silent drive through Italy on the empty highways, with a COVID self-declaration form in her pocket, the anxiety of being pulled over and having to explain that she was working and the risk of being misunderstood has enriched her and her process more than she could ever expect.

Gerhard Maurer pictures his family and his immediate surroundings: The empty center of Klagenfurt, the city where he lives, and its neighboring areas, in times when social distancing is turning into a survival strategy and society becomes more and more fragile. Outside his house and garden, while walking through the city center and its recreational areas, the photographer pictures people he meets – always complying a distance of some meters. What are we waiting for is a very personal survey that shows the discomfort, uncertainty and thread people are facing all around the world these days, while the nature flourishes and the beginning of spring turns into a symbol of hope.

Breakfast and artist talk with Eva-Maria Raab: April 2, 2022 from 11 am to 2 pm
A wave that starts forming, a slowly melting drop of ice – each have nothing to do with our existence, while at the same time belonging to the sum of all of its parts. The present of the past directly inscribed on light-sensitive paper and set in a frame. Eva-Maria Raab captures what is fleeting and uses cyanotypes to ask questions about the essence of nature and its transience. Her photographic experiments are an attempt to capture the soul of nature in a direct and pure manner. For her lake prints, she moistened light-sensitive paper at night with water from Lake Attersee and let it literally blur into photographic images of the lake. In her ice prints as well, object and image merge into one another as traces of ice floes and photographs of them overlap in the picture. Raab's series re-turning around, was created on the Greek island of Ithaca. She uses traces of seawater to create pathways and islands on paper which she outlines with golden ink - a reference to the ‘Odyssey’ and the search for our inner homeland.

The exhibition is part of Foto Wien - the Month of Photography in Vienna.
During her artist residency at Brotfabrik Vienna from June to November 2021, Gabriela Morawetz experienced a summer marked by rain and storms. Many houses in Vienna and her studio were affected by flooding. This unforeseen atmosphere made her confronting the transience of the earth and ask questions about the situation and climate change. Does the world need votive offerings, like in the ancient cultures of our time, to save the precious things and avoid natural disasters? In her work, the artist combines industrial devices such as grid and plaster with photos and sculptures to relate her fragmented landscapes. Natural elements create otherworldly works of art that honor Mother Earth. The exhibition is characterized by the versatility of the artistic and technical means that make up her photography-based works. A kind of improvised altars are created for the valuable elements of the world, which can be modulated and expanded by every member of our vulnerable society.

Ellen Korth's first solo exhibition in Austria features an overview of her series and books: The Fabric of Time, The Rustle of Touch, and Walks. In her works, the past is kept alive. This wonderful connection is carried by wafer-thin, traditionally made papers and books. This depiction of photography is a result of Korth's fascination with Japanese art and culture. The three projects were shaped by her own life and the history of her family, a topic she has worked on in earlier works as well. For The Fabric of Time and The Rustle of Touch, the artist photographed a collection of historical undergarments, then printed the photographs in black and white on translucent Japanese paper. They trigger that feeling in the viewer of a murky and unknown memory left behind after dreaming. The works of the series Walks were created during the Covid-19 pandemic. During that time, the artist took walks to the same location over a period seven weeks, photographing the flowers and weeds there, a wild mix of plants that were growing arbitrarily and which formed a visually appealing landscape. These projects are connected by the same objective: to visualize a place where everyone is able to lose themselves in self-introspection and trace their memories.

The digital and analogue archives of Akelei Sell's travel pictures - a mountain of memories from which her gaze wanders back to distant countries. Even after decades, she says, they are 'still in my mind', especially those from China, where she lived for a while in cities by the water between 2001 and 2008. Shanghai on the Huangpu River with its endlessly moving ships from all over the world, Nanjing on the wide, glittering Yang tse Kiang, Shaoxing with its canals reminiscent of Venice and Hangzhou on the Western lake Xi Hu, which in China is called paradise on earth. Colourful and buzzing life on the banks and in the heart of the cities. At the beginning of her trips to China, she mainly took photos in black and white, later in colour. For the exhibition on the occasion of her milestone birthday she was going back to the b/w photos, as colours fade in memory and the essentials remain. The "Echo from China" tableaux, paintings on acrylic glass, created between 2005 and 2012, are echos from a world of signs. (A.S. 2021)

Cirren includes photographs and drawings depicting the variety of cirrus and other high-level cloud forms, as well as the anthropogenic reshaping of their appearance. The theme deals with the past, present, and future of the visible sky in the form of different world perspectives.
Cirrus clouds are delicate and often translucent, forming a variety of shapes consisting of fine ice crystals. Meteorologically, contrails that form bands of ice crystals in high layers of air, belong to the same cloud type. However, aircraft-induced cloud formations compete with natural cirrus formation. Contrails and clouds that develop from contrails do not simply overlay a natural background; when there is heavy air traffic they rather take the place of naturally formed clouds.
The photographs and drawings are negative images. Cloud photographs were taken in Vienna and surrounding areas as well as in the Netherlands during the corona pandemic in 2020/21, when air traffic was greatly reduced and at times almost shut down, and in 2019, when there was heavy air traffic.

Gstettn is a place of wilderness and freedom, a plot of land waiting to be used for housing and that has been taken over by nature in the meantime. From 2017 to 2021, Regina Anzenberger set about capturing the essence of this small piece of land just behind the Anker bakery. Flats for 3000 people will be built, where once the buildings of Europe's largest bread factory stood - but that time has not yet come.
With her photographs, which are painted over, extended by drawings and augmented with found objects, the artist has captured the natural experience of Gstettn in the seven chapters Winter Flowers, Nature Planets, The Illusion of Summer, Native Grounds, The Reconquest of Nature/6 Columns, Snails and Frost. In her works, Regina blurs the boundary between object and reality and takes us on an adventure.

Jindřich Štreit has long been one of the most important figures in Czech photography. He has had more than 1,400 solo exhibitions and his works are in the collections of leading institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Though he has made many visually powerful series with photographs from various parts of the world, his fundamental works remain the unique set of photographs of the Czechoslovak countryside in the 1970s and 1980s. In them he has made an unembellished, unlyricized, unsentimental picture of life in villages of the poor area of Bruntál in the years of the re-established Communist régime, called ‘normalization’. No other Czech photographer has developed the rural theme so multifacetedly, broadly, and authentically. Even amongst the most ravaged of environments and their inhabitants, Štreit has often been able to discover something beautiful, even if only the desire for beauty and joy,friendship and love, timeless values.
The new book and exhibition VILLAGE PEOPLE 1965-1990 contains his famous classics from this period as well as unpublished works that easily stand in comparison with those that have already become photographic icons. The book comes with a text about the photographer by Vladimir Birgus.
AnzenbergerGallery will exhibit VINTAGE PRINTS by Jindrich Streit.
At our Collector's Room we currently show a selection of Regina Anzenberger's works from her series 'Roots & Bonds'.

With this exhibition by the Austrian photographer Gerhard Trumler, born in 1937, the AnzenbergerGallery is featuring another master of classic black-and-white photography. Through several excellent vintage prints prepared by the photographer himself, the daily life of farmers in the rugged cultural landscape of the Waldviertel is portrayed in a poetic way. In Trumler's photographs, we are introduced to a mythical region, getting glimpses into houses there, and discovering unique characters.
Trumler spent his early youth in the Waldviertel and the photographic documentation of rural culture has always been a theme in his photographic work. In this series, the essence of his work is particularly notable, as well as the influence on him by great American photographers such as Edward Weston, Paul Strand, Alfred Stieglitz and even Ansel Adams.
Trumler presents his dream landscape – which he knows better than almost anyone else – with great passion and masterful technique, capturing a vanishing region. Such a detailed and extremely elaborate historical documentation during the last quarter of the 20th century will probably not occur again in Austria, as Trumler's work creates an important foundation for the understanding and knowledge of rural life and nature, both now and for future generations.

Shifting Roots has been photographed in the forest along a small river close to Vienna. In times of climate change water is counted the blood of earth. The river becomes a metaphor for life. Shifting Roots tells about the origins, the moving on, ends and beginnings, the permanent transformation, the cycle of life and the alternation of generations. The forest becomes a source of energy and inspiration of all creativity.
The book Shifting Roots is the third part of a trilogy after Roots & Bonds (2015) and Goosewalk (2019).

When children are asked what kinds of things they would hang pictures of in their room, they mention animals, nature, landscapes, dancers, music, etc. These themes are not only popular among children, they also are with our artists. That's why we decided to talk to children about the artists’ photographs and asked them to collaborate with us on an exhibition. The idea was to foster an imaginative encounter with art that would spark curiosity and stimulate creativity.
In addition, the exhibition will enable children to enter the world of the gallery in an exciting and sensory way. Children will be able to both actively and independently relate to their cultural and social environment through the aesthetic, discovering the world anew each time.

On the centenary of the Bauhaus School, the AnzenbergerGallery presents an exhibition by Minyó Szert, an Hungarian contemporary artist whose works build on geometric elements and textures, movement, and construction. Drawing from Suprematism, abstraction, and analogue photography, Minyó’s unique interpretation brings form to life at the margins of the figural, inviting the audience to refocus their understandings of space and time.
Minyó first encountered the Bauhaus school and its stylistic hallmarks in the 1960s in the Hungarian embassy in New Delhi, where he was immediately captivated by the cool encounter between metal and textiles, and the light-as-air forms of the furniture. His pictures incorporate painterly gestures and freehand photography in an intense montage of built images and materials; his creative process is a time-limited, analogue photographic performance in the presence of a live audience.
Goosewalk tells the story of a slaughterhouse-runaway goose who settled on a golf course and has been accepted by three wild geese. It has not been a coincidence that they landed at a golf course because geese can only eat short grass. Here she lives in freedom, although still protected, endlessly being served freshly mowed grass on a platter. Only the winters are lonely, when the wild geese fly south. But come spring, the birds happily reunite on the same pond.

50 years ago, the young photographer Michael Horowitz visited the rising pop art icon Kiki Kogelnik in New York. Originally from Bleiburg, a village in the Jauntal valley of Carinthia with a population of 4000 residents, the 26-year-old artist was taking New York by storm. She was at the beginning of a promising career. The communicative young woman had found her way into the New York art scene, which included Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg, and Roy Lichtenstein, who were establishing pop art as a counterpoint to abstract expressionism. At the time, the flamboyant performer was creating space art images and hanging sculptures made from body outlines in vinyl, which she would hang on coat hooks - works that now surely count as among her most significant ones.
In 1969, Michael Horowitz accompanied Kiki Kogelnik through her New York. The two explored museums over a period of three days, performing quirky acts on construction sites, then retreating, slightly exhausted, to Kiki's apartment, where they would also document the superwoman's life through photographs. This unique woman had an extraordinary motto for life: "Being an artist is not a profession, rather a form of existence – a passionate way of being human." Viennese photographer Michael Horowitz’s photos of this time in New York 50 years ago are an exceptionally unconventional manifestation of this motto.

The best of reproductions cannot easily restitute the fullness of the works of Gabriela Morawetz, whose “volume”, even though these are photographic images, has more in common with three-dimensional, moving objects. These are complex works, done on canvas, on glass, and on metal, where-in reflections play with their matter. With Morawetz, photography enters another dimension. Weightlessness, working in zero gravity appears then as a metaphor for the work of this artist who, disconnected from reality and completely absorbed by an idea that has become an absolute urgency, is ever borne forth by an underlying energy toward an unknown result. This investigation transforms Morawetz into an alchemist grappling with the magic of matter and practical experiments as she moves between her studio and her laboratory. Having come to photography gradually after studying painting, sculpture, and engraving at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow, echoes of all these practices remain highly present in her work.

A tidy desk? Not a chance. Too much good photography everywhere. It must no doubt be shown, or at least written about! When someone like curator and author Ruth Horak has been talking about photographs for the last 20 years – their backgrounds and contexts, their status as works of art or forms of communication – a cluttered desk is the precursor of every exhibition, every text, every reading. For the summer exhibition, she has put together her current "objects of desire", works by Austrian and international artists distinguished by a particular pictorial language or an unusual view of everyday life.

When talking about his photographs, Gilbert Garcin has been referred to as the “cousin of Tati” or the “spiritual relative of Magritte. This brilliant adept of the surrealist genre came to photography late in life. After closing his lighting store, he began to engage in art and photography upon retiring at 65, attending several workshops at the festival Rencontres de Photographie in Arles. After that, he embarked on his second adventure with light, which has continued up to now.
Within his sometimes ironic self-stagings, the entire spectrum of human comedy seems to be explored. Each of his minimalist photographs is like a theatrical act played out on the obscure stage of life. Gilbert Garcin is not only a director, stage designer, and photographer. In his garden shed, he creates – with scissors, adhesives, photographic self-portraits and paper in black cartons – magical little analogue works and worlds which he then photographs, always in black and white.

Kacper Kowalski discovered flying 20 years ago. To him, it was like discovering an enchanted garden. He found himself paragliding with an engine strapped to his back and entered a space he didn’t have to share with anybody. He could taste and smell the wind. Flying became a drug, and photography became the justification for being up there alone amid the endlessness. There were no digital cameras or drones at that time, so the images he captured became trophies which he brought back to show those who had never seen the world from his vantage point.
However, after two decades of flying, and taken into account all the risks that he exposed himself to, he lost faith in what he was doing. How did he justify taking such risk? Did it still make sense what he was doing? Drones crowded the sky and his enchanted garden had become full of intruders.
Then came the snow and covered the landscape, turning it into a white canvas. Kowalski found another purpose. A new point of view, which was much more personal and filled with emotion. In his new series ‘OVER’, Kowalski photographed the earth with great attention to form, shape and pattern, Kowalski transformed the frozen landscape. Some images remind us of abstract painting, where traces of animals or tractors look like black brushstrokes. In others it feels like we are looking through a microscope or a telescope. The important thing is no longer to bring back proof of what the world looks like from above, neither is it important what image your eye registers mechanically. For Kowalski, it is vital what your consciousness perceives.

The artists explore with their camera the world around them and concentrate it to an unknown landscape, a photographic drawing. Janina Simone Kulcsar presents us her personal notion of the world: between image and reflection, presence and memory. In Alexandra Diaconu's pictures darkness has become a sheet of paper and thus the photograph an abstract drawing. The absence of something immediately tangible in the images leaves room for the viewer to develop his own reality.

In The Poetics of Space, Gaston Bachelard suggests that “When we examine a nest, we place ourselves at the origin of confidence in the world.” Made between 2002 and 2017 on travels across the Southern region of the United States, the photographs in BIRDHOUSES represent a personal exploration of the relationship between place and identity: meditations on home.

Savarese's Plumigeri series attempts to tell their fuller story—to capture their haunting charisma and the ethical challenges they present, as well as their power to convey the endangerment and threat of extinction many bird species face today. Despite their tragic circumstances, these specimens still exude great personality and dignity. Rarely are life and death portrayed with such quiet force and wonder. Paying them tribute became, for Savarese, an almost reverential mission.

In the Prater, the large park and wooded premises in Vienna, Frank Robert has photographed the big and the little sites of the antiquated offering of pleasure and entertainment for the masses. The Prater, a pleasure garden from the 19th century, that still – despite its renovation and cautious technical renovation – carries with it the charm of past eras, a place for distraction in moderation, always with an outlook onto, and the possibility of flight to, relaxing nature next door. Robert's photos hold the balance between documentation and sensitive staging, between implicit involvement and pronounced distance; they capture an amusement landscape at an unusual time of day and time of year, first of all, out of season: morning, noontime, in autumn and winter. Booths, figures and apparatuses often shut, locked or under wraps.

Esotericism is only one of several 'alternative' belief systems which claim to have discovered their own model of 'truth'. They explain the increasingly complex world we live in by simplifying spiritual, political or pseudo scientific theories. These models of 'truth' – no matter how speculative or irrational they may be – are finding new followers mainly through Social Media forums, enabling them to grow into mass movements which perfectly fit into the current 'post truth era'.
For a period of two years, Klaus Pichler immersed himself into the scene by pretending to be a fanatic esotericist. He joined online forums, attended esotericist fairs and gatherings, familiarized himself with relevant theories, ordered products and made use of services. This enabled him to gain an inside view of the irrational world of esotericism, filled with remote healing, aura sprays and unicorn essences. In the process, he witnessed a mixture of credulity, quackery and betrayal.
The result of Klaus Pichler's approach is the series ‘This will change your life forever’ which consists of pictures of products, re-staging of images found on online forums and visualizations of esotericist theories. Some names have been changed but all products are genuine and all quoted texts are authentic. Nothing in this project is fake, or, not faked by him at least.

In 1943 René Groebli starts to take photographs with his father's new Rolleiflex camera. Discovering his passion for the medium, he decides to become a professional photographer. Up to 1955 he produces countless stories; from artistic projects to travels, reportages and portraits of people such as Le Corbusier, Charlie Chaplin or Robert Frank. During this decade he achieves international success with his two books "Rail Magic" and "The Eye of Love" and the participation in Edward Steichen's seminal exhibition "The Family of Man".
With "Early Work" AnzenbergerGallery will present a comprehensive overview of the incredible trove of images of the today 90-year old photographer produced from 1945 - 1955.

After five years at the former bread factory I will make a break as a gallerist and curator and will show a selection of my own artistic work. Regina Anzenberger, January 2017
In Roots & Bonds, Regina Anzenberger has given us what might be termed the psychological landscape – comfortingly familiar yet also edgy, distinctly uncomfortable but distinctly interesting. Gerry Badger in 1000 Words Magazine 3/2016
Anzenberger’s delicate sequencing of her works shows her imaginative way of looking at nature, bringing together her experience as a painter and phtoographer. ... Roots & Bonds is a testament to how inspiration can be drawn from the simplest of things, and that the same place or object can keep on giving, if only you, as an artist, will allow it to inspire you. Rachel Moron in GUP magazine 5/2016
Indem das Auge den Schwingungen der Linienläufe folgt, abtastend frei über das Wirrwarr gleitet, bald überfordert, jedem Einzelnen zu folgen, tritt Entspannung ein. Rita Newman für morgen 6/16

In the winters of 2013/14 and 2014/15, photographer Danila Tkachenko traveled several states of the former Soviet Union in search of abandoned and derelict industrial structures. The works resulting from that trip stage the relics as abstract objects due to the light and weather conditions. A spaceport, tropospheric antennas, the worldʼ s largest diesel submarine, a vertical take-off amphibious aircraft, and others are turned into utopian objects in the pale white light. The series »Restricted Areas« has been recognized throughout Europe in the meantime and is now being shown in Austria for the first time.
Tkachenkoʼ s »Restricted Areas« won last yearʼ s edition of the European Publishers Award for Photography, comprising the simultaneous book release of his series by five European publishing houses. In this book, the artist had an excerpt of H. G. Wellsʼ s »The Time Machine« precede the photographs. But unlike the time traveler from this novel the artist visits a bygone future and thus visualizes the end that lies in every progress.

In her poetic, minimalistic photographs, the American artist Mary Ellen Bartley focuses her camera on aspects of material culture related to the printed word and image. Often, these take the form of still-life arrangements of books, ranging from beaten-up remaindered paperbacks to antique volumes. The images which reveal a tendency toward abstraction, are the result of slow, careful observation in the studio, and their compositions and depth of field emphasize the tactility of her well-worn subjects. In her series 'Standing Open', Bartley delved into the interior spaces of familiar photography books by artist she admires, including Uta Barth, Alec Soth and Hiroshi Sugimoto, among others. Standing each book up so the pages would gently fan out, Bartley photographed the edges to reveal narrow strips of printed information as well as the dark voids between.

In her photographs from 'Natural Findings' the American artist Cheryle St. Onge explores the curiosity and awe of our early grasp of nature; a paper wasp nest that appears dropped from Mars, the frog egg mass that on close inspection, possible through a photograph, becomes a gelatinous scoop of stars, a constellation of black dots, soon to be tadpoles. 'My pictures delve into that personal moment when our fascination, at what has been collected and contained in that jar, box, or bag is visualized on film.' says Cheryle. The photographs become both the shared means of a longer examination and the conduit of our own private recollection of nature. The collections and process are in the realm of both science and curiosity. These moments of photographs are made slowly and carefully with an 8x10 view camera. We present some of her notebooks as well as pigment prints of her photos in the area of the AnzenbergerGallery bookshop.

The exhibition "Flowers & Tables" shows still lifes by Dutch artist Annet van der Voort and Paweł Żak from Poland. Both photographers throw new light on a genre with a very long tradition in the history of art. In "Vanitas" and "Tulipa" Annet van der Voort uses scanography to create colorful images of flowers resembling baroque paintings. Depciting both fresh and wilted flowers, the pictures symbolize vitality and transience at the same time. In the past few years Paweł Żak worked on his project "Sweet Monday and Other Still Life". His analogue photographs show a white set table as a subtle backdrop for various objects. He aims to create the sphere of the sacred but also intends the intense experiencing of everyday and plays with perspective and visual illusion.

Celebrated and award winning photographer Kacper Kowalski focuses on aerial photography. The way he sees the world has been determined by his studies in architecture. He analyses the essence of landscapes, and expresses this through abstract and formally harmonious images. Sometimes they resemble drawings with a multilayered message about the world. Sometimes they are like maps showing traces of human presence on the Earth.

The exhibition City Shapes shows selected works of photographers Phillip Jones and Andreas Trogisch. Both artists use the medium of black and white photography in a unique way and show their own view of the city and their surroundings. Phillip Jones’ (b. 1951 in Washington D.C.) photographs – often taken at night – reveal the monumentality and elegance of urban constructions and industrial plants. Andreas Trogisch (b. 1959 in Riesa/Elbe) focuses on seemingly insignificant details that reveal their unique shape and appearance only when captured at the right moment.

Who hasn’t had the desire just to be someone else for a while? Dressing up is a way of creating an alter ego, a second skin which one’s behaviour can be adjusted to and causes a person to be perceived differently. ‘Just the two of us’ deals with both costumes and the people behind them. ‘Just the two of us’ by Austrian photographer Klaus Pichler deals with both costumes and the people behind them. In addition some other works of Klaus Pichler's projects Skeletons in the Closet, One Third and Dust will be exhibited.

Working at his Institute of Critical Zoologists, the Singapore-based artist Robert Zhao Renhui creates his own universe and a guide to the flora and fauna of this world. It is usually impossible to tell what is reality and what is fake. Then again, our confusion hints at the fact that the typical consumer is just as clueless in everyday life. Is the apple in the supermarket genuine or genetically manipulated? In which ways does man influence nature to make it what we perceive as pleasant and aesthetic?
It is often only a fine line that separates reality from its falsification. Looking at Ricardo Cases’s pictures, for example, we would assume that they are counterfeit: painted pigeons that look like they were created on a computer using Photoshop. The more baffled we are to learn that they are real: a group of pigeon breeders from the area around Valencia, Spain, painted their birds in gaudy colors for a competition.

The SEE New Perspectives: from Balkan Photographers exhibition presents the work of fifteen talented photographers from Southeastern Europe. They were selected to take part in a master class for professional photographers, organized by World Press Photo and Robert Bosch Stiftung in 2010.

Portraits of Cuban musicians and daily life of Havana. Cristina Piza lived in Havana in the early and mid-nineties. In search of the origins of Rumba she inevitably found the musicians of the Buena Vista Social Club, even before Wim Wenders helped them to international fame. In addition to the impressive black-and-white portraits of the Rumberos, amongthem Ibrahim Ferrer, Omara Portuondo, Rubén González, the young Cristina Piza draws a romantic image of Havana. Despite poverty and decay, you can feel hope and passion in her work.

New Year's Eve. With this ritual people all around the world say goodbye to the past and welcome the coming year. Jill Watermann has photographed New Year's Eve for 30 years, every year in a different city, in a different culture. For a few hours she dives into sphere of this extraordinary night. Denis Brudna however, finds with his series Am Boden his very personal approach to New Year's Eve, a so far rather unwelcome ritual to him. One day on the New Year's walk he has looked at the ground, instead of waste he discovered small object constellations, still lifes, lying at his feet and being fascinated by them….

With One Third the Austrian photographer Klaus Pichler shows food which is no longer edible, at various stages of decay. The products used for this study were once tasty items of food, for sale in supermarkets after being transported there from various parts of the world. ‚One Third‘ exceeds the sell by date in order to document the full dimensions of global food waste. The title of the series- ‚One Third‘- refers to this particular percentage of food products which, according to a study by the FAO, goes to waste worldwide. Food products come with their own individual history and are produced in different ways in different parts of the world. They only have one thing in common: They are thrown away. A catalogue and an edition (book + print) has been published along with this exhibition.
In addition classic and contemporary positions of STILL LIFES by Heinrich Kühn, Eugenia Maximova, Birgit Zartl and Frank Robert will be exhibited.

“Camera-less photography” is a familiar term in the history of photography. Photographic originality is explored in terms of its content and technical level and is the starting point of experimental examination. With their series Sweat and Wait and See, the Austrian photographer Reiner Riedler and the Swiss artist duo Françoise and Daniel Cartier take a new and contemporary approach to the medium of “camera-less” photography. Photographic technical realization has been chosen as a way of dealing with the content. The technical aspect in both sets of work is secondary yet essential at the same time. The content determines the form, the form requires the technique. r&d cartier take a minimalist approach in their installations and photograms. Objets trouvés are placed on antique photographic paper and exposed to sunlight. Reiner Riedler uses cotton cloth as negatives. The fabric, treated with sensor dyes, reacts when it comes in contact with sweat. The portrait is presented as an unreal image of a reaction.

In the USA, over 70,000 children are in custody every day. Juvenile In Justice is a project to document the placement and treatment of American juveniles housed by law in facilities that treat, confine, punish, assist and, occasionally, harm them. The project includes images of over 1,000 juveniles and administrators over 250 facilities in 30 states in the U.S, plus extensive information collected from interviews. Richard Ross created this body of work to instigate a policy reform and his hope is that by seeing these images, people will have a better understanding of the conditions that exist. America’s heavy reliance on juvenile incarceration is unique among the developed nations of the world. The portraits of these inmates, ranging in age from 10 to their early 20s, should raise questions which shall be asked here.
Lecture: Richard Ross will discuss the use of images in advocacy, social change and political movement and how his work evolved from the concept of artistic creation to testimony in front of the US Congress and the US Supreme Court.

Statesʼ have Governments, Corporations are steered by a Board of Directors and even organizations of our civil society – Labour Unions for example – function in conjunction with a superordinate governing body or umbrella organization. Should decisions be made publicly or voluntarily as in Democracies or taken in a constrained fashion as in Dictatorships: decisions made by individuals determine a large part of our collective existence. Our societal, economic and political leadership or command is in the hands of a few decision makers and the location and place in which they make their decisions may be pompous, representative and publicly accessible, and sometimes small, inconspicuous and covert. In any case they are Corridors of Power.Opening together with the exhibiton Juvenile in Justice by Richard Ross: March 14, 2013 at 7 pm

What happens to lovers while they are sleeping? Are they just sleeping next to each other, each on their own, or are they sharing certain places or emotions? Is it a nocturnal lovers’ dance--which is not necessarily sensual, but rather a kind of unconscious act of tenderness--or are they turning their backs on each other? Is there a union with the other, with one’s self? These are the questions that Paul Schneggenburger tries to address with images rather than answers. “The Sleep of the Beloved” was his thesis work at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna in 2010 and has developed since then into an ongoing long-term project. Each image from “The Sleep of the Beloved” consists of one long-term exposure. The exposure time was six hours, from midnight until 6 am. They were not digitally altered in any way. The room with the bed is in his live-in studio, he himself was never in the room during the exposure. He just loaded the film, lit the candles, and set up the stage. He then turned the camera on from the living room and his self-constructed “timer” turned the camera back off again in the morning.

Seven female photographers on themselves.
A photography exhibition at the Anzenberger Gallery during the Month of Photography 2012 and as the official opening of the new and bigger space at the former Ankerbrot factory featuring: Isabelle Graeff, Lucy Hilmer, Katarzyna Majak, Emily Peacock, Petra Rautenstrauch, Jana Romanova, and Alena Zhandarova. Young Emerging Talent: Eufalia C. Paz.
The self-portrait is the biggest challenge that an artist can take on. The exhibition, "Me, Myself & I", presents seven contemporary positions on how a woman can approach the enterprise of the self-portrait as a photographic artist: starting on the conceptual rather than the documentary side, enacted and performed several times, with an epistemological view, or borrowing visual arrangements from well-known works by other photographers.

It all started when Klaus Pichler happened to catch a glimpse through a basement window of the museum of natural history one night: an office with a desk, a computer, shelves and a stuffed antelope. This experience left him wondering: what does a museum look like behind the scenes? How are exhibits stored when they are not on display? He was intrigued by these questions when he started to work on this project after being granted permission to take photographs on museum premises.

The important Greek photographers Constantine Manos, John Demos and Nikos Economopoulos are telling about the true Greece and the Greek traditions. Between the 1960s and early 1990s they contributed by pertinacious works and many trips to the fact that Greek photo art finds, in the meantime, big recognition and international attention. At first sight the styles of the three artists seem very alike: They orientate themselves by Henri Cartier-Bresson and take photos classically black-and-white. Anyway, everybody touches the viewer in his personal way. Iconic moments of the Greek landscape and people, with both humor and sadness testify from beautiful, haunting images.
In addition the exhibition will show works about the film „Zorbas the Greek“ (Nikos Kazantzakis, Greece 1964) by the Austrian magnum photographer Erich Lessing.

Over the last two years Klaus Pichler had been looking for accumulations of dust, fluff and grime in various locations in and around Vienna. In commercial premises, factories, private properties, doctor's surgeries etc. etc. It was important to him to offer a representative cross section of all basic functions of society, a kind of ‘typology of dust' in its various shapes and forms.
