For the first time in Austria, a major retrospective is paying tribute to Erna Rosenstein (1913–2004), a key figure of the postwar Polish avant-garde. Against the backdrop of the Shoah and political upheavals in Poland, her works bear witness to the resilience of an artist who never wavered in her political and artistic ideals. In a career spanning six decades, Rosenstein developed a multimedia creative cosmos that reveals how the present interweaves with memories of the past, and how collective and individual experiences are intertwined.
