Essl Museum, Vienna, Austria

Essl Museum comprises the art collection of Agnes and Karlheinz Essl and reflects the collectors' personal vision of contemporary art. Austrian painting after 1945 represented the central core of the collection in the first decades.

As of the early 1990s, it began to adopt an increasingly international orientation. Art genres represented in the collection range from Informel to Vienna Actionism, from the realist tendencies of the 1970s to the "new painting" of the 1980s and the pluralism of styles and media that marks the present.
