Paths of Abstract Painting. Monet, Kandinsky, Mondrian and the<br />
Aftermath (26 Feb. to 8 June <strong>2008</strong>). In the spring of <strong>2008</strong> the BA-CA<br />
Kunstforum Wien will present an exhibition encompassing some 70 works<br />
illustrating the development of abstract painting. The timeline begins with<br />
pioneers of modern art – Kasimir Malevich and Wassily Kandinsky – and<br />
continues through the exponents of abstract expressionism (Mark Rothko,<br />
Jackson Pollock) to contemporary examples (Gerhard Richter, Brice Marden,<br />
Sean Scully). The exhibition also spotlights contemporary abstract painting<br />
in Austria and places it in an international context.<br />
Light-Pictures. From Alfred Stieglitz to Andreas Gursky<br />
(18 Sept. to 2 Nov. <strong>2008</strong>). In the fall of <strong>2008</strong> the BA-CA Kunstforum will<br />
present masterpieces of historic photography from the museum’s own<br />
“Fotografis” collection, a treasure trove of over 400 works ranging from the<br />
pioneer days of photography to pictorialism, “straight photography”, experimental<br />
works of the avant-garde and to contemporary examples.<br />
The BA-CA Kunstforum is the first stop for art lovers when it comes to<br />
classical modern painting and the avant-garde styles of the post-war period.<br />
Each year, some 300,000 people visit the one-of-a-kind temporary exhibitions<br />
at this private institution. Leading museums as well as private collectors<br />
present their works here. From van Gogh to Miró, Cézanne to Picasso,<br />
Kandinsky to Chagall and Warhol to Lichtenstein – this is where the<br />
great names of the art world are brought together.<br />
Technisches Museum Wien – Discover the world of technology!<br />
volving hands as well as brains, and informative exhibits enable visitors to<br />
literally “get a grasp” on scientific and historical concepts. The adventure<br />
area for kids (up to age 6) – “the mini” – allows even the youngest visitors<br />
