Dedicated to one of the most important protagonists of Austrian modernity, the MAK exhibition “GÜNTER BRUS. Midnight Dawn” focuses on hitherto largely unknown individual works and picture-poems dating from the late 1970s and early 1980s. The presented drawings mark a new period in the artist’s production characterized by a variety that reveals the actionist, self-mutilator, book illustrator, picture-poet, word/image artist, draftsman, and painter, as well as the ironic, sarcastic contemporary wielding his pen as formerly his razor blade.

Günter Brus: Abbruch der Beziehungen zum Ich, 1980. Bleistift und Farbstift auf Papier, 35,5 x 26,9 cm. Privatsammlung.
