Today and in the future
The Art Collection Schlichtner is both an art collection and, in the person of Andreas Schlichtner, the organizer and curator of art exhibitions. Particularly important is the support of young artists, who are shown in combination with positions by established artists and those of different generations and backgrounds. You can find our exhibitions at the PARALLEL Vienna art fairs, in the Kulturforum Bratislava, collective art spaces such as Bräuhausgasse 31 or Rooming Inn, OR Vinzenz and also in public spaces. With a few exceptions, my collecting activity focuses on the works of those artists with whom I have already worked in my exhibitions. I live and work in Vienna/Austria.
past to today
The Art Collection Schlichtner began collecting in 2002, collecting objects and works that artists placed in public spaces. Acquaintances with the artists were the result and much could be preserved. Many of these works were by Christian Eisenberger and they form the cornerstone of the collection. We owe him an interest in art and a degree in art history. Street art and graffiti artists were initially the focus and works by Keramik, Busk, Nychos, El Lasso, Die Made, Smurf, EmilOne, monochrom and C215 were purchased at Galerie Inoperable. The art world is so diverse and amazing! There are many friendships and a passion for collecting: Thank you for your art: Christian Eisenberger, Jonathan Meese, Begi Guggenheim, Amiko Kamikaze, les tardes goldscheyder, Stinkfish, Hermann Nitsch, Peter Kogler, Franz West, Thomas Gegner, Margareta Klose, Peter Várnai, Arianna Ellero, Monika Böhme-Sauter, Martin Dickinger, Aklima Iqbal, Sagar Sarkar, Susan Lisbin, Alan Neider, Martin Grandits, Gert Resinger, Annette Tesarek, Anna Pelz, Bernice Sokol Kramer, Oksana Zmiyevska, Bernhard Graschitz, Freakygreenfish, Lea Neckel, Martin Krammer, Daniel Mazanik, Lia Quirina and Isa Robertini, Ola Plankenauer, Patrick Chan, Nikola Milojcevic, Claudia Schumann, Georgiy Melnikov, Karin Frank, Fabian Seiz, Michael Vonbank, Kathi Gusch, Ana Vollwesen, Felice Gotthardt, David Blumenkind, Jakob Liu Wächter, Alisa Krakhofer, Lym Moreno, George Kubla, Janusz Oliwa, Malgorzata Oliwa!
