Austrian architect Hans Hollein (1934-2014) is one of the greatest names on the world stage. Awarded the most prestigious international distinction, the Pritzker Prize, in 1985, his work encompasses a wide range of projects, from the first Viennese and New York stores of the 1960s to the Vulcania amusement park, including high-rise buildings (Haas Haus and Media Tower in Vienna) and museums (Mönchengladbach, Frankfurt), which testify to Hollein's eclecticism and iconoclastic aspirations.
An architect, urban planner, designer, and theoretician, this unique figure was very close to artists, particularly Joseph Beuys. The creator of collages acquired early on by the MoMA in New York, he also created important installations at the Abteiberg Museum in Mönchengladbach (1970) and the Venice Biennale (1972), and designed memorable exhibitions such as the "Austriennale" (1968) and "MAN transFORMS" (1976).
The catalogue accompanying the exhibition organised at the Centre Pompidou - the first major publication in French - allows us to re-examine the unique trajectory of an artist whose work spanned some of the major trends of the 20th century, from radical architecture to informal art and conceptual art.
