Donated with Love

The 250th anniversary of the ALBERTINA Museum also stands at the center of our new presentation in Klosterneuburg. It is an occasion to look back with gratitude upon generous donations and address collecting as a task for the future. This exhibition shows a curated cross-section of the diverse works recently donated to the museum and is conceived as a big thank-you to the artists and supporters who have contributed to the contemporary art collection’s expansion.

When it comes to augmenting the museum’s collection, closing programmatic gaps, placing new accents, and staying abreast of current developments, donations are indispensable. The exhibition 'Donated with Love' lends visibility to recent new acquisitions, showing a selection of large workgroups by figures such as Roy Lichtenstein and Sean Scully as well as individual works by artists ranging from Julie Mehretu to Katharina Grosse.
