With works from Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary (TBA21) and Juan & Patricia Vergez (Buenos Aires) private collections
The Winter Palace of Prince Eugene of Savoy
November 21, 2015 – March 6, 2016
Belvedere and Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary (TBA21) are pleased to announce their upcoming exhibition with the Danish Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson. BAROQUE BAROQUE is an ambitious venture that brings together and reconnects some of Eliasson’s most distinguished works from the private holdings of TBA21 and the Juan and Patricia Vergez Collection, Buenos Aires. The overview of artworks from two decades of Eliasson’s artistic practice will explore the affinities between his work and the extraordinary baroque setting of the Belvedere’s Winter Palace of Prince Eugene of Savoy in Vienna. Alongside these works, new site-specific interventions will activate and articulate the historical ensemble, establishing a dialogue between the volubility of the baroque architecture and the modulating perception provided by Eliasson’s artworks.
