Adolf A. Osterider
Press release
Adolf A. Osterider (1924–2019) was among the prominent representatives of a form of lyrical Expressionism in Styria, whereby he achieved unequal mastery in watercolour painting, above all. Besides the depiction of landscapes, he increasingly devoted himself in cycles to the theme of the Commedia dell’Arte and its characters. Osterider was also an important teacher. Following studies under Hans Adametz and Rudolf Szyszkowitz at the Ortweinschule in Graz and under Sergius Pauser at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, he himself worked as a teacher at the Ortweinschule from 1956 onwards, where he ran the master classing for painting from 1965 until 1986 (with some interruptions). The exhibition in the Neue Galerie Graz featuring selected works coincides with the presentation of a book about the man and artist written by friends, acquaintances and companions, marking what would have been his 100th birthday.

In them, his identity appears as a reflection of conflict-laden socio-political structures. Sharif formulates controversial topics such as everyday racism, nationalism and migration with a lightness that combines the poetic with the political. The Studio Room is the only exhibition space that is not located in the historic building of Neue Galerie. Since 2017, the space has been used to present young Austrian positions.

Unmistakably Waldorf!
Press release
Günter Waldorf (1924–2012), Günter Stessl, was a well-known personality who shaped Styrian cultural life. He was thus the initiator and founding member of the Forum Stadtpark and one of the creative minds behind the Kunsthaus Graz – among other things. Moreover, he created an independent oeuvre that incorporated the various trends that characterised (Austrian) painting in the second half of the 20th century in an inimitable way, often laced with his own irony. In the case of Waldorf, the rare phenomenon was found that his works appealed to a wider public without his works submitting to some kind of public taste. Submission was also a foreign concept to the former boxer. The exhibition shows a cross-section of his creative output with a limited number of works.
