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 human images 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 to 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 died on August 5, 2021. The cur­rent exhi­bi­tion presents works on paper and canvas.

Yoshi Taka­hashi, born in Tokyo in 1943, stud­ied at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Fine Art, Tokyo and at the Acad­e­my of Fine Arts, Munich. In addi­tion to his teach­ing activ­i­ties (1973–1993), Taka­hashi cre­at­ed works on paper, can­vas and graph­ics. From 1974, he devot­ed him­self inten­sive­ly to print­mak­ing tech­niques. In his painter­ly and graph­ic col­or mosaics, the artist invites the view­er to enter gar­dens and dis­cov­er plants, ani­mals and hous­es step by step. Taka­hashi lived in Ger­many from 1966 and in Aus­tria from 1974. The artist died in Bad Reichen­hall (Ger­many) in 1998.
