Friedl Dicker-Brandeis: Book Presentation and Discussion

In the context of the Vienna Art Week and the exhibition Friedl Dicker-Brandeis. Workshops for Visual Arts at University Gallery Heiligenkreuzerhof, the institute Collection and Archive presents a bilingual monograph on the artist. The book documents for the first time a body of artistic works collected at the university since the 1980s and traces the disciplinary and thematic versatility of Dicker-Brandeis’s work.
The publication includes several essays, which situate Friedl Dicker-Brandeis' work within social, political, and aesthetic discourses of the 1920s and 1930s, as well as shorter texts, which explore further selected works.
The book presentation will be accompanied by statements by the authors and two panel discussions.
