Description: Padhi Frieberger is undoubtedly considered one of the most radical pioneers and original artists in the post-war Austrian art scene. However, "everyone is talking about it, and in fact no-one actually knows it", as he once summed up this situation in relation to one of his works. This is the first comprehensive monograph with exhibits from all his creative phases, offering a change to get to know the impressive wealth of Padhi Frieberger's artistic oeuvre. In the dreary post-War years in Vienna, Frieberger not only brilliantly staged himself, thus becoming one of the founding fathers of staged photography, but was also involved in the various art scenes: as a painter, photographer, object artist, poet, musician, philosopher, dancer, political activist and subversive actionist, anarchic personality and passionate (peace) dove breeder, staunch vegetarian, true nature love and nuclear bomb opponent.
Notes: Catalog of an exhibition held at the Kunsthalle Krems, Krems an der Donau, Austria, Oct. 16, 2011-April 15, 2012.
