Featuring as yet little-known works, the show reveals how Attersee actively shaped and participated in the revolution in artistic production from the 1960s. The exhibition *Feuerstelle* shows all aspects of Attersee’s oeuvre, focusing on the first twenty years of his creative career. Whereas the bright colours and visual subjects in the early stages of his oeuvre are reminiscent of Pop Art, from the mid-1970s the artist adopts a more gesturally expressive drawing style that later morphs into the painterly. Collages, works on paper, photographs, films, music and paintings are displayed on an equal footing with inventions, craft and product design. More recent pictures complement Attersee’s early work and make it possible to identify the rigour in his oeuvre. Curated by Britta Schmitz. \#ChristianLudwigAttersee ### [Belvedere 21](https://www.belvedere.at/en/visit/belvedere-21) **Opening hours:** Tuesday to Sunday, 11 am - 6 pm; Late Night: Thursday, 11 am - 9 pm **Address:** Belvedere 21, 1030 Vienna ([Getting there]()) [Tickets](https://www.belvedere.at/en/tickets?location%5B0%5D=4) ##### In cooperation with - Kurier ## Impressions - ![Mixed media with photo from 1968 on cardboard, 36 x 48 cm — Christian Ludwig Attersee, „Feuerstelle“, 2011 — Private collection.

From his *Würfel-BH* to his *Prothesenalphabet*, from his wine label to the Attersee sausage, from his postage stamp to the Attersee house, the Austrian artist has turned his name into his trademark and ‘atterseeised’ his world. Pop, humour and irony characterise his work, which draws on the subjects of his life like the weather, sailing, nature, music and language. Similarly, the subjects of beauty and eroticism permeate Attersee’s entire oeuvre. ## Videos ## Exhibited Artworks - ![Collage mit Illustriertenabbildungen auf Karton, 70 x 100 cm — Christian Ludwig Attersee, „Gekocht + Ungekocht“, 1965 — Private collection.
