Josef Hoffmann - Oswald Oberhuber

Oswald Oberhuber (*1931) is one of the pioneers of Art Informel in Austrian painting and sculpture. He worked as an artist, gallery owner, professor and between 1973-1995 as the dean of the Academy of Applied Arts in Vienna. Oberhuber's drawings and objects may be considered creative acts continuing in the footsteps of Josef Hoffmann and further developing his credo that the artist's approach should be complex and all-inclusive. Oswald Oberhuber and Peter Noever together initiated the first comprehensive exhibition from the work of Josef Hoffmann in Austria (1987).
