Exhibition summary

This exhibition at Belvedere honored the Austrian artist VALIE EXPORT on her seventieth birthday, showcasing both lesser-known recent works and famous early pieces. A highlight was the sculpture 'Die Doppelgängerin,' which was acquired by the museum.

Curatorial context

Anlässlich ihres siebzigsten Geburtstags würdigten das Lentos Kunstmuseum Linz und das Belvedere in Wien die österreichische Künstlerin VALIE EXPORT an ihrem Geburts- respektive Wirkungsort mit zwei umfassenden Ausstellungen. Kuratiert von Angelika Nollert waren diese nicht chronologisch angelegt, sondern zeigten weniger bekannte, vielfach großformatige jüngere Arbeiten gleichberechtigt neben EXPORTs berühmtem Frühwerk, darunter Aktionshose: Genitalpanik (1969), BODY SIGN ACTION (1970) und die Serie der Körperfigurationen (1972–82). Ein Highlight der Wiener Schau war die Aufstellung der Skulptur Die Doppelgängerin (2010) im Belvedere-Garten, die in der Folge angekauft wurde und heute den Skulpturengarten des Belvedere 21 bereichert.
