Summertime
& collect
The summer has always been a time when people particularly like to relax, to enjoy themselves in the sun or shade and to turn the tempo down. A cool drink on a terrace, a light summery dish on the table, friends meet, chat and unwind. Viewing works of art can be a wonderful contribution to slowing one’s life down. Here are some of the summery paintings on view in the Essl Museum this summer by Sigmar Polke, Hubert Scheibl, Max Weiler, Bianca Maria Regl, Herbert Brandl, David Salle, Wolfgang Herzig and many others from the Essl Collection and on loan.
