Group collection
Lentos Kunstmuseum, Linz
19.06 - 05.10

In 2024, Erwin Hauser, Vice President of the Lentos Freunde [Friends of Lentos Association], gifted his art collection encompassing 2,994 works to the City of Linz and the Lentos. In doing so, he enabled the museum to undergo its greatest expansion since its foundation through the acquisition of the Wolfgang Gurlitt Collection in 1953.

To mark the occasion, Lentos is presenting a first best-of exhibition, providing insights into the history of its creation and showcasing the highlights of this outstanding collection of predominantly Austrian artists which the Linz-based entrepreneur has built up over the past 25 years using his expert judgement.
