The show will be conceived in close co-operation with the artist.“Striving from the outset for a subtly sensitive, but always intense, painting style, Pongratz took up ‘wild’ painting well before the ‘New Wild’ became fashionable and ubiquitous. The characteristic aspects of the latter as seen in the 1980s were anticipated by Pongratz in a very convincing manner ten to fifteen years earlier: the powerful depiction of strong content and drastic subjects as the artistic echo of everything people were concerned about, of things that ‘mattered’.” Otto BreichaCurator: Günther Oberhollenzer18.03. – 07.06.2015Opening: 17.03.2015ESSL MUSEUMContemporary ArtAn der Donau-Au 13400 Klosterneuburg / ViennaT: +43-(0)2243-370 50 150E: info@essl.museumTUE-SUN: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.WED: 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.Monday closed,except on national holidays.
