Around 1950 there is an explo­sion of avant-garde art. The cur­rent exhi­bi­tion fea­tures prints by Gunter Damisch, Adolf Frohn­er, Rudolf Hradil, Alfred Hrdlic­ka, Wolf­gang Hol­legha, Frieden­sre­ich Hun­dert­wass­er, Alfred Klinkan, Oskar Kokosch­ka, Kurt Moldovan, Peter Pon­gratz, Got­tfried Salz­mann, Roman Schei­dl, Max Weil­er, Josef Mikl, Arnulf Rain­er, Wolf­gang Richter and Oth­mar Zechyr, among others.
