Austrian National Library

2022

About the Item

Austrian National Library Vienna, Austria, 2022 166 x 136 cm Edition size: 12 Light jet, exposure on high glossy paper and aluminum dibond Framed with tulipwood, distance framing, and a UV 99 museum glass. Located in the Wiener Hofburg the Austrian National Library is considered one of the most beautiful historic library halls in the world. Commissioned in 1722 by Charles VI, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, the historic building was constructed by the famous baroque architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach and his son Joseph Emanuel. The grand hall measures 77.7 x 14.2 meters with a central dome of 29.2 meters high. The iconic pairs of columns divide the wings and represent the Pillars of Hercules which symbolize claims to power and Constantia et Fortitudine, the motto of Charles VI. With more than 12 million items in its collection, the Austrian National Library is the largest library in Austria and owns one of the most valuable book collections in the world with items dating from 1501 to the present day. Therefore, we are particularly proud that the Austrian National Library has included two publications by Christian Voigt in its collection. Artist Bio: Born in Munich, Germany, Christian Voigt lives and works in Hamburg and The South of France. His current studio is situated in Hamburg.Christian Voigt works with large-format cameras, both digital and analogue. He experiments with new camera techniques and makes the best use of the digital medium. In the museum edition, his large-format pictures can measure as much as eight meters in width. But his strictly limited editions also come in sizes which customers and collectors can hang on walls of more modest sizes. Christian Voigt has developed a language capable of telling new stories. He continually works to refine a pictorial idiom, the stories he wants to tell, the feelings he convey. This is visible in his pictures; Landscape and architecture are his principal areas of interest, but he also does portraits and nudes. The travels associated with his projects and places call for concentration, for the ability to get to grips with people, with their history and their religion. ‘My pictures are created with the camera, not on the computer,’ he says, with a reference to the complicated technology and processing that goes into his creations. ‘But without the computer technology of today, the pictures couldn’t be crafted into their final form.’Solo shows and Art Fairs have been staged in Basel, Hamburg, New York, Los Angeles, London, Saint Tropez, Amsterdam, Madrid.
