The Upper Austrian Art Association is the second oldest art association in Austria outside of Vienna after the Salzburger Kunstverein founded in 1844 .

With public support, the public should be given the opportunity to convince themselves of the advances in art in general, and in particular that of Upper Austria, in order to stimulate more interest in securing and improving the carefree existence of artists through honorable means and their works To gain recognition.

The establishment was not without controversy. In the middle of the 19th century, 96 Upper Austrian artists, including 21 from Linz, belonged to the Wiener Kunstverein , which was founded in 1830 . The founding meeting and the first exhibition took place in 1851 in the Nordico , the former Kremsmünster suburban palace.

As early as 1855, with the help of the provincial government, the association was the founder and until 1866 also the administrator of the Upper Austrian provincial gallery . The basis of the gallery was created through planned acquisitions. It was the first gallery within the monarchy and in the whole of Germany that arose from the people themselves and was founded by an art association and dedicated to the people.

Activities included sales exhibitions, including works by great contemporary painters outside of Upper Austria such as B. Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller , Jakob Alt , Rudolf von Alt and Franz Alt , Friedrich Gauermann , Moritz von Schwind , Carl Spitzweg or Hans Makart were presented.

Among the most prominent members were Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller, Honoré Daumier , Carl Spitzweg, Gustav Klimt , Käthe Kollwitz , Alfred Kubin , Egon Schiele , Vilma Eckl and Tina Blau . Adalbert Stifter , next to Dominik Lebschy Vice President, played a key role in determining the history of the Upper Austrian Art Association in the first few years. In 1913, the Upper Austrian Artists' Association in March split off. In 1938 the Upper Austrian Art Association was officially deleted. The Upper Austrian Art Association, newly founded by Franz Zimmermann in 1948 , was expressly brought into being as a successor association. In 1955 the Mühlviertel artists' guild was formed .

The archive of the Upper Austrian Art Association was handed over to the Upper Austrian Provincial Archives in the early 1960s and contains, among other things, lists of members, correspondence with artists and exhibition catalogs covering the period from 1851 to 1961.

society

The Upper Austrian Art Association sees it as its central concern (2013 quote) to fully develop and promote the importance of contemporary art, which can always be read as a seismograph for social change. In addition to works by its own members, projects by guest artists are presented on a large scale as part of a consistent exhibition.

Ingrid Hahn has directed the gallery of the Upper Austrian Art Association since 2002 .
