CARLONE CONTEMPORARY: Sarah Ortmeyer's Provocative Sculptures at Vienna's Upper Belvedere

Sarah Ortmeyer's "DIABOLUS (PROTECTOR)" exhibition showcases devil sculptures within the historic Carlone Hall of the Upper Belvedere. These works, part of her "EMOJI SHADOW" series, are presented amidst a collection spanning different eras, offering a dialogue between contemporary art and historical context.

The CARLONE CONTEMPORARY series at the Upper Belvedere brings contemporary artistic voices into dialogue with the museum's historic collections. Sarah Ortmeyer's exhibition, "DIABOLUS (PROTECTOR)", features her unique sculptures of devils, which inhabit the Carlone Hall. These raw and wild forms are presented as timeless, universal protectors, challenging generic interpretations. These works are components of Ortmeyer's broader series, including EMOJI SHADOW, STATUA Collectio, SILVER Collectio, and DIABOLUS Collectio. The exhibition is curated by Stella Rollig, with assistant curatorship from Johanna Hofer and Katarina Lozo, bridging the Baroque pictorial program of the Carlone Hall with new artistic stances.
