from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wolfgang Herzig (born October 24, 1941 in Judenburg , Styria ) is an Austrian painter.

Life

Wolfgang Herzig attended from 1955 to 1959, the School of Applied Arts in Graz the Ortweinschule with Rudolf Spohn, Division of frescoes and wall design, and from 1959 to 1965 in the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna , the master class for painting with Sergius Pauser . In 1965 he had his first solo exhibition at the Galerie Synthesis in Vienna and in 1968, alongside Kurt Kocherscheidt , Martha Jungwirth , Peter Pongratz , Franz Ringel and Robert Zeppel-Sperl, he took part in the exhibition Realities curated by Otto Breicha for the Vienna Secession . The exhibition title stuck to the six as a group name, although they never really formed a group .

Wolfgang Herzig himself still had a larger exhibition of his own in the Vienna Secession in 1970 after he had become a member of this artists' association. Many exhibition participations followed, but also staff at home and abroad. A large retrospective exhibition was last held in 2011 at the Essl Museum .

Wolfgang Herzig was professor at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna from 1997 to 2007. From 1997 to 2005 he led the master class for painting and from 2005 to 2007 he was visiting professor for design.
