About the exhibition
The impetus for building Hannah Rieger's private collection was an exhibition of Johann Hauser and Oswald Tschirtner in 1980. Following a family tradition, she has been continually expanding her collection ever since. Hannah Rieger sees collecting Art Brut as “a project of passion, not of reason”. Engaging with this art movement and meeting Art Brut artists is a special enrichment and joy in her life. An exclusive selection of works by the Gugging artists was presented publicly in Pernegg for the first time: Laila Bachtiar, Johann Fischer, Johann Hauser, Franz Kamlander, Franz Kernbeis, Fritz Koller, Johann Korec, Arnold Schmidt, Oswald Tschirtner and August Walla.
Curator: Nina Katschnig
