Artists

Erna Rosenstein

Press release

For the first time in Austria, a major retrospective will pay tribute to Erna Rosenstein (1913–2004), a key figure of the postwar avant-garde in Poland. Against the backdrop of the Shoah and historic upheavals in Poland, her works bear witness to the resilience of an artist, who never wavered in her political convictions and artistic ideals. In a career spanning six decades, Rosenstein developed a multimedia visual cosmos that reveals how the present interweaves with memories of the past, and how collective and individual experiences are intertwined. 

Curated by Stephanie Auer. 
Assistant Curator: Miroslav Haľák
