Hauser & Wirth

This event has ended.

Hauser & Wirth presents a selection of early works by Vienna Actionists Günter Brus, Otto Muehl, Hermann Nitsch, and Rudolf Schwarzkogler. ‘RITE OF PASSAGE: The Early Years of Vienna Actionism, 1960 – 1966’ is the first major New York City exhibition to explore, through rare paintings, collages, and photographs, the emergence of a critical 20th-century avant-garde movement.

‘RITE OF PASSAGE: The Early Years of Vienna Actionism, 1960 – 1966’ brings together a representative survey of the early and formative years of Vienna Actionism. Including a unique and rare selection of early vintages prints and original contact sheets, as well as paintings and collages, the exhibition features some of the most significant works still in private hands. The exhibition will be accompanied by a new publication including contributions from Hubert Klocker, a foremost scholar and expert on Vienna Actionism, and Gloria Sutton of Northeastern University, who examines the relationship between the Actionists and the medium of photography.
