He was a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, was considered a prince among painters and a cosmopolitan artist who also produced 400 portraits and 150 paintings.

Stars & Guitars

Infeld Haus der Kultur
06.03.2021 to 19.12.2021

The "Stars & Guitars" exhibition features works by Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Keith Haring, Steve Kaufman, Mel Ramos, Kiki Kogelnik and other well-known Pop Art artists as well as rare guitars from the Infeld collection.
Pop Art moved the striking visual world of advertising and the mass media into the aesthetic focus. From bizarre to critical, artists delivered an imaginative interpretation of commercial products. It was not about a direct adoption of what was found in everyday life: The subjects were overdrawn, distorted, fragmented, endlessly duplicated and boosted to the point of absurdity. A unique iconography and visual language was created: recognizable, reduced, expressive.

Josef Bramer

Infeld Haus der Kultur
14.09.2019 to 17.11.2019

The Infeld Haus of Culture in Halbturn dedicates a personal exhibition to the artist Josef Bramer. He is regarded as a poetic loner in the Austrian art scene.

Josef Bramer paints in old master technique with meticulous accuracy without any loud pathos. As a graduate of Rudolf Hausner's master class at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, he was given a precise description of the object and richly nuanced colors. Josef Bramer creates his silent but urgent messages with reliable skill and confident knowledge without submitting to fashion.

His paintings seems like an inner monologue. Quiet, self-contained, Josef Bramer fully fills his formats with tremendous perseverance.

Florentina Pakosta

Infeld Haus der Kultur
15.06.2019 to 25.08.2019

Infeld Haus der Kultur in Halbturn shows a personal exhibition of the Austrian artist Florentina Pakosta. She devoted herself to art against every external resistance. At the beginning of her work reacted Pakosta in her drawings to the discrimination against women in the Austrian society in general and in the art scene concrete.

In the 1990s turned Florentina Pakosta gradually away from black-and-white, figurative work in favor of an abstract visual language. Until today, she creates series of characteristic tricolor paintings, which emerge from the experienced emotion.

Infeld Haus der Kultur

The Infeld House of Culture in Halbturn pays tribute to Tone Fink on his 75th birthday and exhibits works from the protagonist from the 1970s to 2018.

Energetic, imaginative and versatile, he is a pictorial lateral thinker. For Tone Fink, the boundaries between art genres exist in order to be skipped, because he needs variety and is a draftsman, painter, object artist, actionist and performer, filmmaker and art teacher.
