The special exhibition explores exemplary aspects of the iconography and mythology of Antiquity in sculpture. Ludwig Kasper (1893–1945) drew closely on Greek sculpture in formal terms and thereby helped shape the concept of “Modern Classicism.” In the 1960s, at a time when abstract art was becoming established, Rudolf Hoflehner (1916–1995) revisited Greek sculpture. Siegfried Anzinger (*1953) returned to Antiquity in the spirit of Postmodernism. Central to his work were the ideas of free contemplation and making the invisible visible. The exhibition opens with a selection of small-scale sculptures dating from the 18th to the 20th century from the collection of the Salzburg Museum.
