The Albertina Museum is honoring Egon Schiele, one of expressionism's most important visual artists, with a revolutionary exhibition. Based on a concept originated by Ciprian Adrian Barsan, it envisions a return of Schiele's lost works-known only from black-and-white photographs- courtesy of Adrian Ghenie's hauntingly emphatic artistic abilities.

Gabriele Münter (1877-1962) was one of the founders of The Blue Rider (Der Blaue Reiter), the legendary group of Expressionist artists based in Munich.
The exhibition, which includes more than one hundred paintings, drawings, prints and photographs, aims to reveal an artist who rebelled against the limits imposed on women of her day and who succeeded in becoming one of the most notable figures of German Expressionism in the early 20th century.
Exhibition: Poster Women: Women's Poster
From 11.10.2024 to 16.02.2025
Wiesbaden Museum
www.museum-wiesbaden.de/en/plakatfrauen-frauenplakat
Organised by Wiesbaden Museum
The theme of the installation is the changing relationship between the poster as an artistic and creative medium and the role played in it by women. Male poster designers from the first heyday of German poster design, from 1905 to 1921 approximately, used woman as a theme and women as models in a variety of ways.
The show and the accompanying exhibition catalogue present a selection from the collections of F. W. Neess and Maximilian Karagöz, showing the diverse public portrayals of women on posters. Works skilfully communicated social ideas of the day on what women should be. They conveyed what behaviour was socially desirable, what freedoms were conceivable, but also which boundaries were non-negotiable.
However, in this time women also designed posters professionally, even when they had to do it in opposition to gender prejudices. Their designs showed the growing confidence of women to move away from one-off handicrafts and small formats to large-format, mass-produced advertisements. It could be said, therefore, that these women championed emancipation through poster design.

Organised by The Mucha Foundation
The exhibition reappraises the work of Art Nouveau pioneer Alphonse Mucha (b. 1860, Ivančice, Moravia, Austrian Empire; d. 1939, Prague, Czechoslovakia) and explores his impact on graphic art since the 1960s. This exhibition provides an opportunity to survey the development of Mucha's style, and to explore how his art was rediscovered by later generations of artists. Mucha was a key influence on Psychedelic Art of the 1960s-1970s, as well as on a wide range of visual culture from the late 20th century to today, exemplified by American comics, Japanese manga, and street murals.
