Art pavilion

The Tyrolean Art Pavilion is an exhibition space for the Tyrolean artists in the Innsbruck Hofgarten .

history

The building in the “Kleiner Hofgarten” was first mentioned in 1564 as the “lower summer house” and was rebuilt from 1780 to 1797 and 1842. Since 1902 there were plans to convert the summer house into an exhibition space for fine arts, but this was not implemented until 1951 according to plans by Otto Mayr. Since then, the pavilion has been the seat of the Tyrolean artists' association founded in 1946 and, in addition to the exhibition space, houses the club office and the club archive.

Building description

The building is a single-storey garden house with a square floor plan, which is covered with a flat pyramid roof made of sheet metal. It stands on a pedestal, which is overcome with six steps in front of the entrance. In the middle part, three large, arched window doors emerge like a risalit , next to each is a small arched window. The outer edges of the building are designed with rustic ashlar  . During the renovation in 1951, the approximately 175 m² square interior was provided with a skylight . Small adjoining rooms connect to the side.

The pavilion is available as part of the overall plant backyard garden under conservation .

Exhibitions

Every year around five exhibitions take place in the art pavilion. The exhibition program is largely based on submissions that are selected by an expert jury as part of an open, international tendering process. Care is taken to ensure that international artists also present their works and that an exchange between regional and international artists is enabled.

From 1952 to 1963, the Austrian graphics competition took place in the art pavilion.
