Magic and Abysses of Reality

30 October 2024 - 16 February 2025

From late October, the Leopold Museum is dedicating a comprehensive exhibition to Rudolf Wacker (1893–1939), one of the most eminent exponents of New Objectivity in Austria.
Wacker studied in Vienna and Weimar under Albin Egger-Lienz. His oeuvre focused on landscapes and backyards, self-portraits and female nudes, but also on random items found by the artist which he incorporated into his works in ever new compositions. In light of the era’s increasingly volatile political situation and frequent breaches with social taboos, his works can be read as encrypted messages. Featuring numerous loans from institutions and private collections, the presentation affords a comprehensive overview of Wacker’s multi-faceted painterly and graphic oeuvre, complemented by reference works by artists such as Otto Dix and Max Beckmann.
