Museum Exhibition
David Salle • Robert Longo • Gilbert & George • Gerwald Rockenschaub The 80s. Art of the Eighties
Until 13 February 2022
Albertina Museum, Vienna, Austria
The exhibition "The 80s" at ALBERTINA MODERN presents over 160 works by artists who not only defined this decade, but whose work reaches far into the art of the 21st century.
The 80s are the most important decade for the art of our age. For the first time, art was no longer determined by an all-dominant style, such as abstraction or Pop. The 80s stand out for an unprecedented stylistic pluralism that resorted to the picture pool of past decades: the 80s were the cradle of Postmodernism.
