The Museum of Young Art ( MOYA ) was a private museum in Vienna that existed from 2005 to 2015 and was dedicated to young art of the 21st century. The aim was to promote young art and discover talent . The exhibiting artists did not have to be established, rather there was a specialization in early works. A risk in terms of long-term art historical relevance was consciously taken. Sales proceeds went to the artists or to charity organizations.

history

The museum was founded and managed in 2005 by the Swiss-German art historian and art manager Kolja Kramer . The first location was on Vienna's Ringstrasse , next to the Burgtheater and City Hall. In 2010 it moved to the Schönborn-Batthyány Palace .

In 2015 the museum was closed due to financial difficulties. Bankruptcy proceedings were opened in February 2015 and repealed on October 28, 2016. The MOYA then continued its activities and, due to global political events, has since devoted itself exclusively to a “Pop Up Art Tour for Peace”, a European tour with young art for peace.

Countries represented and international relevance

In the MOYA mainly contemporary young European art was presented, with a special focus on regional art from Vienna and Austria and its neighboring countries. The MOYA in Vienna acted as a gateway to the East , especially with its numerous exhibitions and artists from Eastern Europe . In addition to the regional establishment, the international relevance is evident not only in the numerous participation of international artists in exhibitions and the internationally oriented exhibition program at MOYA, but also in the way the MOYA is received abroad. The annual show, the Annuale 'Young Art Global', regularly placed the regional context in a broader spatial-temporal perspective with international artists from all over the world. The MOYA was closely connected to the diplomatic circle in Vienna and mostly worked very closely with international art institutions. In 2013 the MOYA received the Flame of Peace, an award given by members of the Habsburg family for contributions to world peace.

Exhibiting artists

The artists who have exhibited at MOYA include, for example, Katharina Razumovsky , Bianca Regl , Horst Keining , Helmuth Gräff , Gerhard Reinert , Liu Xiuming , Josef Machynka , The 4 Graces and Patricia Jaqueline .
