Art purchases by the municipality of Brixen

The municipality of Brixen will continue its comprehensive cultural promotion programme in 2023, which supports local artists and promotes artistic diversity in the area. The art purchases are not only intended to expand the collection, but also to help integrate the works into the architecture of the new library building. The decision-making committee (Ivo Barth, Federico Giudiceandrea, Eva von Ingram Harpf, Stefanie Prieth, Josef Prader, Stefano Peluso, Alexander Zoeggeler) placed particular emphasis on ensuring that the artworks relate to the location, the premises or the contents of the municipal library.

Works by 11 artists of different generations and disciplines were purchased:

Claudia Barcheri, Marlies Baumgartner, Alessandro Del Pero, Markus Gasser, Niklas Heiss, Harald Kastlunger, Martin Kargruber, Philipp Klammsteiner, Sophie Lazari, Arianna Moroder, Paul Thuile.
