Meer over het boek

The Last Judgment triptych by Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1450/55-1516) is the heart of the Paintings Gallery of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. 0The exhibition series explores Correspondences between Bosch?s altarpiece and works by modern artists shown in regular intervals in a dialogue with the Last Judgment. 0Born in in 1952 in Tübingen, then West Germany, textile artist Alraune created her first textile tableau in 1981. Today, her scenes with fantasy textile figures and thousands of hand-sewn objects in diverse settings, from a Variety Show to a Grand Hotel and a butcher?s shop, have gained an international reputation. Her creations oscillate between the seemingly mundane and the everyday madness in our own worlds.Alraune?s life-size artistic humans are her ensemble of actors, allowing her to change their identities and settings as needed at any time. For her works, she is director, scenario writer, stage and costume designer all in one.In particular, the titles of Alraune?s works in black, red and silver offer visitors a starting point for their own ideas and possible ?correspondences± between these textile works and Hieronymus Bosch?s Last Judgment.00Exhibition: Gemäldegalerie der bildenden Künste wien zu Gast im Theatermuseum, Wien, Austria (28.06. - 23.09.2018).
