AMEDEO POLAZZO – DIE STRUDLHOFSTIEGE
2024-12-09Herald St is pleased to announce Die Strudlhofstiege, the gallery’s first exhibition with Amedeo Polazzo. Encompassing our Museum St premises, a specially conceived mural cradles a suite of paintings which float in and around it, the fresco secco and canvases in gentle dialogue. Polazzo’s work embodies layers, palpable physically, narratively, and temporally. The tableaux and their painted support capture moments of intimate
personal history, whimsical imaginings, and generic stock imagery, softly connected by subtle links which spark an undercurrent language.
The exhibition takes its title from a 1951 novel by Heimito von Doderer (itself named after a Jugendstil public staircase in Vienna) which is set during a period of political and psychological tumult in 1920s Austria.
