This exhibition reveals the perspective of Alfred Kubin (1877–1959) on all that is evil—the dominant theme of his life and works. In Kubin’s output, evil’s aesthetic reveals itself as a counterpart to that of the idyllic, of deliberate disregard for a hideous reality. The artist’s deeply pessimistic mindset moved him to concentrate near-exclusively on the human psyche’s darker aspects in his graphic explorations. He felt defenseless in the face of eerie, dream-apparitions and his pronounced fear of the feminine, of sexuality, of the night, and of being at fate’s mercy. To Kubin, trapped in his dark visions, evil seemed inexhaustible and life-determining.

Combine Albertina Modern with other Vienna favorites. Some things are better together.
Housed inside Vienna's old Künstlerhaus on the city's famous Ringstrasse, the Albertina Modern made its long-awaited opening in 2020 after three years of renovation to the grand 19th-century building.
Unlike the nearby Albertina Museum, the Albertina Modern puts major emphasis on modern and contemporary Austrian art through both its permanent and temporary collections. It provides a dedicated space for the Essl Collection which was acquired in 2017. It also houses an impressive amount of international art, with extensive German and American collections.
