Art gallery Krems
The Kunsthalle Krems is an international exhibition house in the Federal State of Lower Austria. Its programme spans 19th-century art, classical modernism and contemporary art, its main focus being on 20th and 21st-century art. The Kunsthalle Krems contributes importantly to the European art-exhibiting scene, dedicating itself to modernist masters generally considered well-known and to international artists rarely exhibited in Austria. Both Austrian and international contemporary art is intensively treated in solo and thematic exhibitions.
Central to the exhibition philosophy is a networked synopsis of old and new, opening up exciting perspectives and new paths of access. Unusual groupings are vividly presented, complex viewpoints adopted, confrontation deliberately sought. The presentation of works comprises various genres and styles in ways that bridge art historical epochs. Connections to contemporary art are constantly being sought.
