Collection and Batliner Collection
 

78-year-old lawyer from the Principality of Liechtenstein, Herbert Batliner gave his art collection, which is the largest in Europe, the Vienna Museum "Albertina". As a permanent loan to the gallery in 2007 received 500 works of art worth 500 million euros.

Originally Albertina had the opportunity to exhibit works from the Batliner collection for ten years. After this time, if the owner and his heirs will be happy with the way the museum manages the exhibits, they will remain in the "Albertine" forever.

For Albertine is a priceless gift. Vienna Collection is known as a rich collection of graphics on the planet. But now it becomes the world's top museum with one of the best collections of art nouveau.
The first exhibition of the Batliner collection was opened in September 2007: it included works from Monet to Picasso.

The scale of the collection at the exhibition "From Monet to Picasso" absolutely amazed, it was shown all the 20 century: Cezanne, Monet, Renoir, Signac, Matisse, Toulouse-Lautrec, Modigliani, Jawlensky, Picasso, separate sets of Nabi and Fauvism, bridge, German Expressionism , Surrealists. Russian Avant-Garde: Malevich, Kandinsky, Goncharova, Rodchenko, Larionov, Puni, Popova, Exter. It is no accident and there were queues for the first few weeks were more than 100 thousand visitors.

And it was only part of the collection. Last year was an exhibition of Russian avant-garde, but I, unfortunately, it did not hit.

Batliner continue to collect and work closely watching as their masterpieces drawn to the museum. From this year under the renowned collection of $ 3 thousand square meters of exhibition space, and it became part of the permanent exhibition.

Quite a few have found the work of our artists from this collection. At the exhibition were two works by Goncharova luxury - Cow and peacocks, but did not find, alas.

fross, I just had the good fortune to visit this exhibition in November 2007.
Thank you, now I know that this collection Batliner:)
Russian really, as I recall, there was only one room.

One room was only Russian avant-garde, and he was probably the most beautiful. But even in the second room, along with the French was Chagall, then, in two rooms seem to schedule Kandinsky and Jawlensky was with the Germans.

But there was exhibited only a portion of the work, and later had to be exhibition of Russian avant-garde.
