Exhibition: Zinkenbach Painter Colony - Insights into Private Collections

The Zinkenbach Painter Colony Museum in St. Gilgen on Lake Wolfgang is a small, exquisite museum that highlights the lives and works of the artists who spent their summer vacations at the Adambauern farm in Zinkenbach during the interwar period.

For over 25 years, the museum has presented annual exhibitions featuring works from its own collection as well as high-quality loans from museums and private collections. This year's exhibition is dedicated to private collectors and their motivations for collecting art.

Discover extraordinary private collections, hidden estates, and masterpieces of Austrian interwar art that have never been shown publicly before. The exhibition makes visible and tangible what is significant for collectors – their passion, their emotions, and their personal connection to art.

Look forward to numerous unpublished landscapes, portraits, still lifes, and graphics by Josef Dobrowsky, Georg Ehrlich, Ernst Huber, Ludwig Heinrich Jungnickel, Ferdinand Kitt, Oskar Laske, Georg Merkel, Sergius Pauser, Lisel Salzer, Gertrude Schwarz - Helberger, Franz von Zülow, and many more.

A comprehensive informative catalog accompanies the exhibition, providing in-depth insights into the presented works and their backgrounds.
