Subodh Gupta ranks among the most important contemporary artists from India. He became known for his large-format installations comprised of stainless steel kitchen utensils. Et tu, Duchamp? presented on Kunsthalle wien public space karlsplatz. Gupta has used the French artist Marcel Duchamp’s work L.H.O.O.Q. from 1919, which shows Mona Lisa disfigured by a mustache and a goatee, as a model. Thus, the artist enters into an imaginary dialogue with the founder of Conceptual Art. By translating Duchamp’s L.H.O.O.Q. into a three-dimensional piece of a size many times larger, he has created a new work of art that can be “experienced” from all sides.

Using the photographic picture for realizing an artistic vision as precisely and creatively as in painting or drawing was the lifetime objective of Heinrich Kühn, a central founding father of international art photography around 1900. Thanks to him and his friends, the stylized photograph became as much an element of the Secessionists' efforts for a gesamtkunstwerk as the art of interior design, clothes, or commercial art. The most important method for Kühn's purposes was a printing process based on gum bichromate: as it granted complete freedom in the choice of paper and pigments, the prints from the photographic negative resembled charcoal drawings or etchings rather than conventional photographs.

With its major summer exhibition Street and Studio the Kunsthalle Wien brings the rough style of the street into the exhibition hall. The presentation unfolds a network of positions that share a vitality induced by the street and urbanity and spans from the results of Basquiat’s productive collaboration with other artists such as Andy Warhol, Francesco Clemente, or Keith Haring to works by younger artists like Rita Ackermann or Séripop.
