about the artist
Hermine Aichenegg* 1915 , Wien - † 2007 , Wien
Hermine Aichenegg was one of the particularly innovative artists who turned to modernism and revitalized the art scene in Vienna after the war. As early as 1945 Viktor Matejka appointed her to the first post-war exhibition as an innovative artist. Her work was completely wrongly forgotten in the late 1980s. In addition to the exhibition, a comprehensive monograph with a catalog of works will help to present her extensive work in a sustainable manner and to position it on the Austrian art market. From 1951 Aichenegg was one of the few female members of the Vienna Secession with a lively exhibition activity until 1983. In 1951 she was one of the participants in the first Sao Paolo Biennale and was the only woman to represent Austria. Since then she has also been a member of the Federation of Modern Visual Artists of Austria, which vehemently advocated modernism against reactionary voices in the audience. In 1954 she traveled to Paris and was in 1955 at the exhibition of the Secession in Darmstadt and in the same year at the Vienna festival exhibition “Paul Klee. The Vienna Secession - Two Generations ”.
