ILSE ABKA-PRANDSTETTER

08.09.2020 – 31.10.2020

abka was born in vienna. she studied under boeckl and andersen, but was one of the few women to graduate under max weiler. she became known for her woven carpets, which can be found in many public buildings. her tapestries, paintings, mosaics and wire objects are now followed by her crashed canvases. one has the feeling that she is always reinventing herself. peter weiermeier, a great art historian, has always spoken of the poetry in abka’s works. her world of forms refers to abstract natural models that can be reinterpreted again and again.
