Current exhibition

Peter Bischof was born in Vien­na in 1934. After abstract-expres­sion­ist begin­nings and along­side reli­gious-lit­er­ary themes, he placed the human body and expan­sive, dynam­i­cal­ly mov­ing images of peo­ple at the cen­ter of his works. As ear­ly as 1957, the artist real­ized that he not only want­ed to depict the human fig­ure, but also incor­po­rate his thoughts and asso­ci­a­tions. In 1959, the artist’s first solo exhi­bi­tion was shown at the Galerie St. Stephan in Vien­na. Peter Bischof lived and worked in Kößl­wang in Upper Aus­tria and in Vien­na. He passed away on August 5, 2021. The cur­rent exhi­bi­tion presents works on paper and canvas.
