Press Release Closing Report Sabine Breitwieser Firmenbuchgericht Salzburg Press Release Closing report Sabine Breitwieser With recent outstanding donations by Anna Boghiguian and William Kentridge, Sabine Breitwieser rounds off the new additions to the Press collection, which amount to around 3,000 works during her tenure. She Mönchsberg 32 concludes her five-year tenure and hands over a completely reshaped 5020 Salzburg Museum der Moderne Salzburg, with a newly built, spacious art Austria storage building, a renovated Rupertinum-venue and an internationally T +43 662 842220-601 acclaimed program. Breitwieser’s success also manifests F +43 662 842220-700 economically in a seven-digit net profit. [email protected] www.museumdermoderne.at Salzburg, 31 August 2018. Since taking office as Director in the fall of 2013, Sabine Breitwieser has fundamentally reformed the Museum der Moderne Salzburg and positioned it as a preeminent venue for modern and contemporary art far beyond Austria and as a player for prominent exhibitions and cooperations. Her widely noted program of top-quality exhibitions has a lasting impact on the local, national and international museum scene. Thematic exhibitions, in which history was mediated through current issues, including Art/Histories (2014), anti:modern (2016), Art―Music―Dance (2016), Salzburg Unbuilt (2015) or the ongoing series on artists who experienced life in exile, alternated in the program with major solo exhibitions. Artists such as Georg Eisler, Walter Pichler, Raymond Pettibon or groups such as E.A.T. were re-evaluated. But especially exhibitions by women artists like Etal Adnan, Simone Forti, Andrea Fraser, Ana Mendieta, Carolee Schneemann, Charlotte Moorman or currently Marisa Merz and Anna Boghiguian stand out in her program. In addition to rebranding the museum and putting it on the map as a premier institution, Sabine Breitwieser realized much-needed reforms and modernizations of the infrastructure with the renovation of the Rupertinum exhibition galleries and library, and the construction of the art storage building. By working to unlock the potentials of its own collections, especially as Austria’s foremost competence center for photography, and expanding them through targeted acquisitions, Breitwieser was able to significantly strengthen the museum’s identity. As a result of her initiative, the extensive partnership with the Generali Foundation was realized and its approximately 2,300 strong collection was acquired on permanent loan and a main sponsor was won for the Museum. Approximately 700 works of art were further acquired under Breitwieser, more than a quarter of them as donations, and around 400 as permanent loans. A group of works by Anna Boghiguian, part of which was acquired with funding from the friends and patrons of the Museum der Moderne Salzburg in honor of Breitwieser and part was a generous gift by the artist to the museum, as well as four works of the 2017 for the Rupertinum created multipart installation of life-size paper-cuts of migrant workers by William Kentridge―also as a donation―are among the latest acquisitions for the collection. “I want to thank all those who have supported me in the realization of my goals, in particular the artists, numerous cooperation partners, financial supporters, and donors as well as the team. Together, we have often made the impossible possible. I do hope that in the future it will be possible to Museum der Moderne – Rupertinum Betriebsgesellschaft mbH FN 2386452 1/2 Press Release Closing report Sabine Breitwieser Firmenbuchgericht Salzburg Press realize a significant and internationally top-level artistic program, which focuses on the contents and core tasks of the museum, and wish the T +43 662 842220-601 F +43 662 842220-700 Museum der Moderne Salzburg all the best.” [email protected] The exhibition program conceived by Sabine Breitwieser will run until spring www.museumdermoderne.at 2019. The highlights this fall include an exhibition of the Otto Breicha-Prize recipient Lisl Ponger, a show on the influence of the organization and magazine Camera Austria and an exhibition on Oskar Kokoschka and historical references in his work. The exhibition level [2] presenting art from the museum’s collections and in particular the Generali Foundation Collection is devoted this fall on the topic of “the power of language”. In total, under the tenure of Sabine Breitwieser, around 70 exhibitions, partly curated by herself, were organized at the Museum der Moderne Salzburg, 6 of them abroad. More than half a million visitors saw the exhibitions in Salzburg, which were received by the national and international press in a positive and in part enthusiastic manner. 15 publications were realized, as well as a new website and a new corporate design including the new name as Museum der Moderne Salzburg. Over the course of five years and despite complex and demanding projects, Breitwieser’s successful fundraising activities have ultimately contributed to a significant net profit of slightly more than 1 million Euro. 2/2 Press Release Closing report Sabine Breitwieser .

  • Museum Der Moderne Salzburg History and Status
    Museum der Moderne Salzburg History and status quo The Museum der Moderne Salzburg was founded with the "Schenkung Press Welz", a collection of modern prints, and opened in 1983 in the early Mönchsberg 32 baroque palace of the former seminary "Collegium Rupertinum" in the old 5020 Salzburg town of Salzburg as "Modern Gallery and Graphic Collection - Rupertinum". Austria Founding director Otto Breicha (1983―1998) expanded the collection by T +43 662 842220-601 buying Austrian photography. In this part of the collection, known as the F +43 662 842220-700 "Austrian Photo Gallery", holdings of the federal government are also [email protected] administered. Under the direction of Director Peter Weiermair (1998―2001), www.museumdermoderne.at the program of the Rupertinum has become more internationally oriented. In the 1990s, spectacular plans for a Guggenheim Museum Salzburg in the rock of the Mönchsberg were forged, which were ultimately not realized. Finally, a new building for a "museum of modernity" was erected on the Mönchsberg, where the Café Winkler was previously located. In 2004, under the direction of Agnes Husslein (2000―2005) opened the Museum der Moderne on Mönchsberg. In the 2000s, the house was brought closer to contemporary art, which has for some time been the focus of the program. Under director Toni Stooss (2005―2013), a prominent painting by Gustav Klimt was restituted to the rightful owners. With a portion of the sales proceeds generously donated by the owners, the former water tower on Mönchsberg was upgraded. Since 2014, the significant building, henceforth referred to as the "Amalie-Redlich-Turm", is operated as a center for art education with an artist studio apartment.

Four years ago, at the height of our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, with the press filled with tales of heroic displays of great courage in the face of adversity, I began to think about the meaning of courage. We bring to mind the courageous fire fighter saving a child from a burning building. We think of the mountain climber trudging to the summit. Images of a parent or neighbor rushing into the line of fire to save a child from the savages of war; memories of someone half-drowned, dragged to shore by a stranger; stories of courage in wars, earthquakes, storms, famines, fill our minds when we hear the word courage. But not in the arts. I realized that an artist seeking to tell the truth in her art takes great courage, too. A musician who sticks to his form of music, no matter how unpopular, is courage. I knew to stand up against hatred and prejudice, discrimination and racism as an artist, and that needed courage. I recognize the courage required to bring children together from Israeli and Palestinian communities to find commonality in music as a very powerful and effective beginning towards Peace.
