About
Kiki Kogelnik (1935-1997) is one of the most important international figures in Austrian art of the 20th century. In post-war Vienna, Kogelnik moved with Rainer and Lassnig in the scene of the new abstraction, which established an informal visual language. Originally from Carinthia, she went to Paris around 1958 and moved to New York in 1960. Enthusiastic about the new technologies, she turned to her own form of pop art, her "space art", in the circle of Warhol and Lichtenstein, in which her not uncritical fascination with space travel found expression. In the 1970s, Kogelnik responded to the first wave of feminism with images of women in which she paraphrased female clichés disseminated by the media. Amusement at playing with a postmodern form of irony also characterized her further work. The catalog shows her multifaceted oeuvre, which produced a kaleidoscope of pictorial worlds: from little-known graphic works, abstract-informal compositions and paintings influenced by Pop Art to sculptural "hangings" made of vinyl and the groups of works from the 1980s and 1990s, which are characterized by increasing physical fragmentation and abstraction.
