Retrospects

Museum Gugging, Maria Gugging, Austria

The oeuvre of Philipp Schöpke (1921-1998) is enigmatic and fascinating. With great endurance, he made the human figures transparent and their heart and reproductive organs visible.
The fate of this creative mind is exemplary for all those Art Brut artists whose work went unheeded because of their position on the margins of society.
Three drawings from the Infeld collection become a part from the exhibition in the Museum Gugging.

One work of Egon Schiele (1890-1918) from the Infeld collection – “Two laying girl acts”, pencil drawing from the year 1914 - complements as a loan the exhibition “Egon Schiele” in the Museum Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, France.
It is the biggest Egon Schiele exhibition ever in Paris. 2018 is the centenary of Egon Schiele’s death.

The Infeld Haus der Kultur in Halbturn is devoting a comprehensive exhibition to the artist Franz Janz (1946-2017).
The exhibition presents 60 works on canvas and paper and the Franz Janz’s “Infeld Bible”. The artist reworked the poetry book "Atlantis" from Peter Infeld (1942-2009). The pen and ink drawings have a focus on the themes life, love, faith and death. 
All the works of art come from the Infeld Collection.

The Infeld House of Culture in Halbturn honors Walter Schmögner on his 75th birthday.

As the son of the painter Theobald Schmögner, Walter Schmögner came into contact with art at an early age. His talent already was evident at school. After completing his master class, he exhibited his quirky pen and ink drawings in Vienna for the first time. Since then he has been exploring the astonishing, the strange and the quirky with meticulous attention to detail. His work was and remains astonishingly diverse and wide-ranging.
