Gekauft. Und dann?

Exhibition Design

Why does the City of Vienna acquire contemporary art every year? What role does the Municipal Department of Culture (MA 7) play in this, and what role does the Wien Museum play? Where are the art works stored when they are not on display? What happens to the objects in a collection over the years? And what does municipal funding mean for the artists based in Vienna? The exhibition “Sold!” tells the story of how contemporary art is handled from the perspectives of the museum, the city, and the artists.
