Now on view at CRONE BERLIN: The duo-show LOGICAL DISORDER, featuring works by Franz West and Bruno Gironcoli.

Bruno Gironcoli and Franz West are regarded as two of the most influential Austrian artists. Nevertheless, they were long considered outsiders before establishing themselves through persistence and an unrelenting creative drive. Even though their works may at first appear markedly different, they remained closely connected throughout their lives.

Franz West studied under Gironcoli at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in the 1970s. He described this as “the stroke of luck of my life.” Gironcoli became his mentor, granting him considerable freedom while introducing him to techniques and materials that would shape his entire oeuvre. Later, as West rose to become a leading figure on the international art scene, he was the one who helped to bring Gironcoli the recognition he deserved beyond Austria.

In LOGICAL DISORDER, their works are brought into direct dialogue for the first time. The student–teacher perspective not only opens up compelling insights, but also allows for an observation of the broader formation of two classic “solitary” artistic positions, sustained by mutual respect and exchange.

On view until June 20, 2026

Congratulations to ASHLEY HANS SCHEIRL on receiving the SALZBURG STATE’S GRAND ART PRIZE 2026.

The jury members - Felicitas Thun-Hohenstein (Academy of Fine Arts Vienna), Martin Hochleitner (Salzburg Museum), and Harald Krejci (Museum der Moderne Salzburg) - stated in their citation: “Scheirl’s contributions to Documenta 14 in Kassel/Athens, as well as her participation in the Lyon Biennial and in the Austrian Pavilion at the 2022 Venice Biennale, demonstrate her significant international artistic recognition. Her work reveals the fragility of the human body with unflinching clarity and humor. It is characterized by a resolute, multi-layered exploration of various forms of media, including painting, video, photography, installation, film and performance.

In 2025, Ashley Hans Scheirl (b. 1956, Salzburg) was honored with a comprehensive retrospective at Belvedere 21 in Vienna and was awarded the Oskar Kokoschka Prize together with her partner Jakob Lena Knebl. Her latest exhibition PETROL M*OTHER is currently on view at Crone Wien and explores questions of identity, capitalism, and a technoid world.

Opening May 12, 2026: ASHLEY HANS SCHEIRL’S solo exhibition PETROL M*OTHER at Crone Wien.

Following her retrospective at Belvedere 21 and her participation in Lives and Works in Vienna at the Kunsthalle Wien, Scheirl presents Petrol M*other, a completely new body of work in which she explores the question of individual identity within a technoid, capitalist, artificially intelligent universe.

You are cordially invited!

Three more days: OTTO ZITKO‘S latest solo exhibition CARDBOARDS at Crone Wien.

Otto Zitko’s works emerge in a field of tension between what can be represented in or as painting and its complete dissolution; a dissolution that has shed all reference to the object world by refusing, with all the means of art, its conventional hierarchies of meaning. Even occasional traces of figuration must therefore be understood only as part of the painterly language or grammar—thus as immanent to the image as density, drawing, color, gesture, and line.

Zitko is, through and through, a painter of images; his works are distillations of painting-painterly articulations that, in their radical singularity and autonomy, are capable of inducing endless astonishment—another expression of (overwhelming) presence. The works he now presents read like a treatise on painting—one that, in its pointedness, recalls Vermeer’s The Art of Painting (De Schilderkunst), where the creation of the image is articulated through the very means of image-making.

Opening Friday, May 1, 2026: FRANZ WEST AND BRUNO GIRONCOLI | LOGICAL DISORDER as part of this year‘s GALLERY WEEKEND BERLIN.

Franz West (1947–2012) and Bruno Gironcoli (1936–2010) rank among the most influential Austrian artists of the past decades. Their sculptures and objects are distinguished by a singular, immediately recognizable visual language and have had a lasting impact on the international art world.

Although the practices and trajectories of these two exceptional artists are deeply intertwined, there has never been a joint exhibition of West and Gironcoli. Logical Disorder brings their works into direct dialogue for the first time.

You are cordially invited!

Congratulations to ROSEMARIE TROCKEL on receiving the 2026 Dortmund Cultural Foundation Prize in recognition of her entire body of work.

Yilmaz Dziewior, director of Museum Ludwig Cologne, wrote on behalf of the jury: “We are delighted that Rosemarie Trockel is accepting the Dortmund Cultural Foundation Prize for her lifetime’s work. By honouring her, we recognise an artist who is one of the most influential of her generation, whose work defies categorisation. While her early knitted and hotplate paintings were initially interpreted as a feminist response to the male-dominated conceptual art scene, it soon became clear that this interpretation was inadequate. Much like her drawings, which run through her entire oeuvre, a productive fragility that contradicts Minimal Art becomes apparent, as well as a subtle humour and a profound spirit of resistance“.

Rosemarie Trockel (*1952 in Schwerte, Germany) is one of Germany’s most influential artists and is internationally renowned for her complex and controversial works. Trockel’s interest lies in the themes of sexuality, culture and artistic production and she takes an ironic and critical look at traditional role models. She uses a variety of techniques, draws on everyday objects and relates unexpected things to each other in her works. With her interest in the grotesque, many of her works create boundless and fearless fantasies.

Trockel’s work has been exhibited at numerous major museums around the world as well as at the documenta and the Venice Biennial. She was a professor at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf until 2016 and lives and works in Potsdam.

Our booth at this year’s ART DÜSSELDORF: A solo presentation by the German conceptual, performance and installation artist CHRISTIAN JANKOWSKI.

The presentation focuses on two main themes: On the one hand, it deals with authorship, participation and the involvement of people with no prior experience of art – issues that have always defined Jankowski’s work. Secondly, the works on display focus specifically on the function, impact and nature of monuments, and their deconstruction

For the project HEAVY WEIGHT HISTORY, Jankowski explored physical monuments as symbols of old and new identities. In the work group HOOPING GUGGENHEIM, he playfully questions the interrelationship between artist and institution. And in his sculpture series MOLDED CITY, he involved schoolchildren in the production process.

Now on view at CRONE WIEN: Otto Zitko‘s solo exhibition CARDBOARDS.

Otto Zitko is known for his vibrating, exuberant meshes of lines, which he paints on walls, ceilings, or aluminum panels, and in which the immediate, performative act of painting becomes instantly palpable to the viewer. With his most recent series, the CARDBOARDS, Zitko turns to smaller, more intimate formats.

It almost seems as though the artist – after having set out with his expansive works to describe the world – returns to his studio in order to reconsider the classical motifs of painting from the ground up.

“Zitko’s works,” writes the artist and curator Gregor Schmoll in a text accompanying the exhibition, “are distillations of painting which, in their radical uniqueness and autonomy, are capable of provoking endless wonder – an expression of their (overwhelming) presence.”

On view until May 7, 2026

At ART DÜSSELDORF 2026, we show a three-part solo presentation by CHRISTIAN JANKOWSKI that explores questions of authorship, participation, and the function of monuments.

Part three: Heavy Weight History, 2013

For the project HEAVY WEIGHT HISTORY, Christian Jankowski explored physical monuments as symbols of old and new identities. In doing so, he sought to subvert historical narratives and, quite literally, bring a sense of lightness to a subject steeped in gravity by encouraging Polish weightlifters to lift Warsaw’s monuments off their pedestals – an endeavour that sometimes succeeded and sometimes failed.

Heavy Weight History is a work group consisting of seven large scale black-and-white photographs and a 30-minute film that documents how the group of Polish weightlifters attempted to lift five public monuments in Warsaw. It touches on politics, autocracy, masculinity and the staging of remembrance and power.
