Vision einer Sammlung /A Collection's Vision

This catalogue of the inaugural exhibit of the recently opened Museum der Moderne in Salzburg reflects the contemporary nature of the museum in both its design and its layout. Europe's most exciting new museum possesses an exquisite collection that places it at the forefront of modern art. Selected works from the museum's collection are presented in thematic groupings, such as portraits, landscapes, and abstractions, which are compared and contrasted from stylistic or chronological perspectives. Nearly two hundred illustrations show the work of individual artists such as Gustav Klimt, and Lovis Corinth, Cindy Sherman and David Salle.
