Book Description
The history and redevelopment of the building housing the Heidi Horten Collection. In early 2022, the Heidi Horton Collection opened in the heart of Vienna. For its first book, the Collection decided to showcase the creation of this new exhibition venue, its architecture, and its construction history, positioning it within the context of the foundation of new museums. Heidi Goëss-Horten's art collection has been carefully cultivated since the early 1990s and focuses mainly on works of international modernism, Neo-Expressionism, and American Pop-Art. This richly illustrated book examines the previous historical buildings on the space where the museum now stands, their princely clients, the current redesign, and the conversion of a former secular residential outbuilding into a contemporary art museum. An interview with Heidi Goëss-Horten rounds out the book, allowing the collector and patron to introduce herself and provide fascinating insights into a prestigious European private collection.

Book Description
In the spirit of a rendezvous, the Heidi Horten Collection offers a meet-up with artists in the collection whose biographies were shaped by France. The exhibition and accompanying catalogue embark on an artistic journey of discovery from the Parisian artists' districts of Montmartre and Montparnasse to the South of France - the Midi - and thus to places that have contributed to the emergence of major art movements in the twentieth century.

Book Description
The traumatic surreal is the first major study to examine the ground-breaking role played by Germanophone women artists working in surrealist traditions in responding to the traumatic events and legacies of the Second World War. Analysing works in a variety of media by leading artists and writers, the book redefines the post-war trajectories of surrealism and recalibrates critical understandings of the movement’s relations to historical trauma. Chapters address artworks, writings and compositions by the Swiss Meret Oppenheim, the German Unica Zürn, the Austrian Birgit Jürgenssen, the Luxembourg-Austrian Bady Minck and the Austrian Olga Neuwirth and her collaboration with fellow Austrian Nobel-prize winning novelist Elfriede Jelinek. Locating each artist in their historical context, the book traces the development of the traumatic surreal through the wartime and post-war period.

Book Description
The Elements of Art deconstructs great works of art into manageable components so that you can better understand and appreciate them. Knowing how to interpret art is one of the biggest issues facing casual gallery-goers. They may ask themselves questions like: Why is the Mona Lisa so small? Why are some frames gilded in gold while others are non-existent? What can the use of material say about a work, whether it’s an oil painting, collage or made of found objects? And does the life of the artist matter? This book answers all of these questions and more and introduces the key elements with which you can analyse and better understand artwork. From colour, medium and size to where the piece is situated, and the artist who made it, you’ll learn what’s important and what’s not so important. The book includes two parts: Part One introduces the elements using examples from throughout art history, introducing key terms and techniques while giving you the tools to apply lessons learned outside of the book. Part Two puts the elements into practice by breaking down 30 great artworks element by element—from Michelangelo to Frida Kahlo. With the Elements of Art, you’ll learn important information about technique, style, material, location and colour that will shape you to read and interpret art. Whether you're a student, teacher, culture vulture or art enthusiast, this book will help you de-mystify great works of art, making for a more meaningful, fulfilling and enjoyable visit to any gallery.
