Richard Hawkins
Potentialities

Since the early 1990s, Richard Hawkins (b. 1961, Mexia, Texas) has developed a singular practice based upon the intense pleasure of looking and the dynamics of desire. Employing collage as a means to structure and develop his compositions, he has described his work as ‘promiscuously referential’, quoting from the histories of artistic representation in sculpture, painting, literature and the performing arts alongside popular culture. This exhibition brings together over 100 paintings, collages, sculptures and videos from nine distinct bodies of work produced over the last three decades. Potentialities is the first institutional exhibition of Hawkins’s work in over a decade and the first in Austria.

The guided tour is free with a valid exhibition ticket.
