WOLFGANG RICHTER

Exhi­bi­tion from 21.10.2023 — 29.11.2023

 

 

Salzburg’s local moun­tain, the Unters­berg, exerts a great fas­ci­na­tion on the artist and can be found in many of his works. Like Kat­sushi­ka Hoku­sai (1760–1849), mas­ter of the “Hun­dred Views of Mount Fuji”, Wolf­gang Richter shows the view­er the moun­tain again and again from dif­fer­ent angles and places the moun­tain range in new per­spec­tives. The exhi­bi­tion presents recent graph­ics, wood­cuts, from the series Cloud Moun­tains of the artist.
