biography
Jungwirth studied from 1956 to 1963 at the University of Applied Arts Vienna , where she also taught from 1967 to 1977. In 1968 she formed the group " Realities " with Franz Ringel , Peter Pongratz , Wolfgang Herzig , Robert Zeppel-Sperl and Kurt Kocherscheidt .
The group claimed a more socially relevant, realistic painting compared to the Informel, which was internationally dominant at the time. Jungwirth himself always worked on the boundary between abstract and representational painting. After these initial successes in the 1960s, Martha Jungwirth lived in New York for a few months, but then returned to Austria. From 1969 until his death in 1990 she was married to the art historian and museum director Alfred Schmeller .
Jungwirth's works have been shown several times in large exhibitions, including a. at documenta 6 (1977), in the Kunsthalle Krems in 2014 and as a personal in the Albertina (2018).
Martha Jungwirth lives and works in Vienna and Neumarkt an der Raab . The watercolor is at the center of her work .
