Exhibition: Zinkenbacher Malerkolonie – Insights into Private Collections

The Museum Zinkenbacher Malerkolonie in St. Gilgen am Wolfgangsee is a small, fine museum that illuminates the lives and work of the artists who spent their summer retreats at the Hof des Adambauern in Zinkenbach during the interwar period. For over 25 years, the museum has presented annual exhibitions featuring works from its own collection as well as high-calibre loans from museums and private collections. This year's exhibition is dedicated to private collectors and their motivations for collecting art. Discover extraordinary private collections, hidden estates, and masterworks of Austrian interwar art that have never before been shown to the public. The exhibition makes visible and tangible what is meaningful to collectors – their passion, their emotions, and their personal connection to art. Look forward to numerous, previously unpublished landscape paintings, portraits, still lifes, and graphic works by Josef Dobrowsky, Georg Ehrlich, Ernst Huber, Ludwig Heinrich Jungnickel, Ferdinand Kitt, Oskar Laske, Georg Merkel, Sergius Pauser, Lisel Salzer, Gertrude Schwarz-Helberger, Franz von Zülow, and many more. A comprehensive, informative catalogue accompanies the exhibition, offering in-depth insights into the works on display and their backgrounds. Curators: MMag. Claudia Baumann, Mag.
