Artist and artisan, art theorist and proto-installation artist, master of high-publicity performances and rival of Auguste Rodin, Medardo Rosso (b. 1858 in Turin, d. 1928 in Milan) was one of the great pioneers of modernism. mumok is dedicating a comprehensive retrospective to the Italian-French artist’s still little-known oeuvre, which will feature about ﬁfty sculptures and a large selection of photographs, photocollages, and drawings. The exhibition delves into a thorough analysis of Rosso's processual and repetitive and radical anti-heroic approach, with which the artist deﬁed all conventions of traditional sculpture. A selection of works by artists directly or indirectly inﬂuenced by Rosso — such as Francis Bacon, Nairy Baghramian, Phyllida Barlow, Lynda Benglis, Louise Bourgeois, Constantin Brâncuși, Edgar Degas, Alberto Giacometti, David Hammons, Eva Hesse, Marisa Merz, Robert Morris and Andy Warhol — further unpack and create a dialogue with Rosso’s equally groundbreaking and hermetic work. The “expanded” retrospective thus adheres to Rosso’s own artistic practice of not exhibiting alone but in “conversation” with others.
The exhibition, which is being organized in close collaboration with the Medardo Rosso Estate, will subsequently travel to Kunstmuseum Basel, where it will be on view from March to August 2025.

I was only coming once, so the Vienna Golden Hall was a must-see. The seats were great, right in front of the stage. The audience arrived very early, many in suits and formal wear. Because of the cold weather, I wore a pink leather jacket that night, but they didn&#39;t ask me to store it when I redeemed my ticket. The performance was fantastic, but unfortunately, photography and videography weren&#39;t allowed. So it will definitely be a memorable experience.

The interior decorations are also coordinated in Oriental style, with ceramics on the walls and ceilings. The garden is large.

One of the best art museums I&#39;ve ever been to! I wish I had more time to explore... 2h is enough if you&#39;re just walking through but if you&#39;re the type to read everything definitely allocate 3-4h.

A very interesting art gallery. It looks mysterious from the outside, but inside are wonderful masterpieces by masters. It is also the largest modern art distribution center in Central Europe. Located in the center of Vienna, it is very suitable for sightseeing. If you are tired, you can have a cup of coffee on the first floor. Leaning on the bench, watching the people coming and going, you can experience the other side of this ancient European city.
