STAGE FOR STATE ART TREASURES

“The State Gallery of Lower Austria aspires to serve as a stage for the outstanding artistic treasures of the State of Lower Austria,” says new director Gerda Ridler, naming one of three important pillars in her museum program.

The state art collection comprises around 100,000 objects. In addition to important works from the Middle Ages and the Baroque period, the collection focuses on art from the nineteenth century to contemporary works. All disciplines – painting, sculpture, drawing, prints, photography, media art as well as installation and textile art – are represented.

By forging stronger ties to the State Collections of Lower Austria, Gerda Ridler will strengthen the institution’s role as a museum and further develop its program and content.

STAGE FOR LOCAL ARTISTS

The State Gallery of Lower Austria aspires to be an attractive venue for representing not only the State Collections but local artists as well. Above all, artists will be featured who have not yet received the recognition they deserve in Austrian art history.

WINDOW ON INTERNATIONAL ART WITH INSTALLATION PROJECTS

The third pillar opens a window on international art. Renowned international artists will be invited to realize installation-based projects at the Landesgalerie Niederösterreich that relate strongly to the architecture.
