The Chobot Collection
Until 18 September 2022
The collection of Dagmar and Manfred Chobot numbers among the most important donations made to the ALBERTINA in recent years. The work of the Chobot Gallery, founded in 1971, and this collector-couple relates closely to post-1945 Austrian contemporary art. Even in their early days as collectors, the Chobots had a future handover to the ALBERTINA in mind—which took place in 2019, some 50 years after they had founded their gallery.
The selection on exhibit here provides a comprehensive look at the most important highlights of this couple’s over 800-work donation. These include works by Cornelius Kolig, Bruno Gironcoli, Alfred Hrdlicka, Verena Bretschneider, Franz Ringel and Adolf Frohner.
On view at the ALBERTINA Museum, Vienna from 14 July until 18 September 2022.
