The Vienna ceramics edition brings together international contemporary artists who reimagine the medium of ceramics, exploring it as a space between sculpture, concept art, and artistic experimentation. At the Gmunden Ceramics Manufactory, specially developed, strictly limited editions and ceramic sculptures are created in cooperation with the OÖ Landes-Kultur GmbH and their exhibition program.
The exhibition presents works by Peter Baldinger, Julia Beliaeva, Maria Kulikovska, Jakob Lena Knebl, Kim Simonsson, Rosi Steinbach, Elmar Trenkwalder and Erwin Wurm. On display are small series and ceramic objects that explore the creative and material possibilities of the medium.
The Vienna ceramics edition builds on the tradition of the Wiener Werkstätte and the "United Viennese and Gmunden Ceramics," which produced significant Art Nouveau ceramics in Gmunden from 1913 onwards. Artists such as Gudrun Baudisch-Wittke, Bertold Löffler, Dagobert Peche, Michael Powolny, Emilie Schleiss-Simandl, and Franz von Zülow shaped this connection between art, design, and ceramic production, which has been continued in a contemporary style since 2022 within the framework of the Academy of Ceramics Gmunden.
