Neue Galerie Graz

Universalmuseum Joanneum

As a museum for modern and contemporary art with an extensive collection of works by Austrian and international artists from the 19th century to the present in a wide variety of media, the Neue Galerie Graz is dedicated to research on recent art history from the 19th century, with a separate focus in the art of the 20th century and numerous points of contact to the present day.

Exhibitions present central artist positions as well as topics from art history, whereby the deepened examination of the own collection and consequently the history of the museum in its changeable socio-political environment expands the view beyond art and opens up the museum as a platform for dialogue, where not only questions of art and Art history but a variety of subjects of general interest are discussed.

Selection

Highlights aus der Sammlung

The Neue Galerie Graz's collection of around 70,000 works has been shown in various ways over the past years, most recently until summer 2024 under the title Show! Highlights from the Collection. Due to the high demand, a permanent presentation of the collection will now be shown, which can be seen in a condensed form under the title Selection. For the first time, the public was actively involved in the new selection; a survey led to an astonishing result, which has been incorporated into the current presentation.

But there are unspeakable things

The painter Wolfgang Hollegha

In 2016, the Neue Galerie Graz presented the exhibition Nature Is Within. The painter Wolfgang Hollegha, the first chronological exhibition of the artist's work. Despite his advanced age (* 1929), Hollegha remained productive until shortly before his death. The new current exhibition presents Hollegha's works since 2016 and reveals the artist's consistently high quality standards. Instead of a chronological arrangement, it now follows a thematic focus.

gerhard rühm

still even now

Gerhard Rühm celebrated his 95th birthday on February 12, 2025. The poet, playwright, draughtsman, painter, collagist, conceptualist, performer, composer, musician and interpreter of his own works is one of the last living legends of the Austrian post-war avant-garde. The exhibition is structured loosely chronologically and follows the artist through the decades based on key groups of works.

Freedom Was an Episode (tbc)

In March 2020, the exhibition Freedom will have been an episode opened at the Austrian Cultural Forum in New York - and closed shortly afterwards due to the corona pandemic. The subsequent restriction of freedom and increased control exceeded all expectations and changed the world forever. Five years later, the current show at the BRUSEUM picks up this thread again: With new works by Austrian artists, it examines the multi-layered forms of surveillance and explores the question: Was freedom just an episode?
