Hermann Nitsch

*1938   lives and works in Prinzendorf on the Zaya

Nitsch participated in Viennese Actionism. In the early 1960s the Orgien Mysterien Theater began. It includes painting, architecture, music, sacrificial rituals and the liturgy. Nitsch's abstract pour paintings, just like his performances, establish the theme of controlled violence and simulate organic mutilation.

Discover our Collection

Discover the almost 1,200 works in our constantly growing collection in our online database. In the future, the collection will be expanded primarily through the purchases of current contemporary art associated with the art prizes. However, the jury will also recommend annual purchases to the Board of Directors to supplement the existing holdings of recent Tyrolean art history.
