Karl KORAB was born on April 26, 1937 in Falkenstein / Lower Austria. From 1957 to 1964 he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna with Sergius Pauser and Herbert Boeckl and was awarded the Master School Prize and the Golden Füger Medal in the first year of the Academy. During his studies he met Ernst Fuchs and Anton Lehmden, representatives of the Viennese School of Fantastic Realism, and adopted their painting style. From the mid-1960s, Korab developed his own visual language in which he depicted people increasingly abstractly, and expanded his artistic repertoire to include the representation of cities and machines. From 1980 the subject of landscape became a priority for the artist and he began to vary and further develop houses and cubes again and again in his works. Since 1960 Karl Korab has participated in numerous exhibitions and exhibitions. He has received numerous honors and awards, including the gold medal at the III Biennale in Bolzano (1969), the Lower Austria Culture Prize (1972), the Golden Decoration of Honor for Services to the Province of Lower Austria (1997) and the Great Decoration of Honor for Services to the Province Lower Austria (2012). The artist’s extensive oeuvre includes oil paintings, collages, watercolors, drawings and prints. His works are in public and private collections at home and abroad. Karl Korab lives and works in Sonndorf in the Waldviertel.
1973 – first exhibition in the gallery Welz.
