Art&Antique Salzburg – August 2022

ART-ANTIQUE in Salzburg 2022

The Magnet Gallery from Völkermarkt specializes in Carinthian classical modern artists. Besides the big names such as Herbert Boeckl and Werner Berg, these are first and foremost the artists from the Nötsch circle (Anton Kolig, Franz Wiegele and Sebastian Isepp, plus their students Anton Mahringer and Gerhart Frankl) and important individualists such as Ludwig Heinrich Jungnickel, Arnold Clementschitsch and Jean Egger.
In recent years, the Carinthian classics of the second half of the 20th century have also been added: Hans Bischoffshausen, Kiki Kogelnik, Hans Staudacher, Giselbert Hoke, Bruno Gironcoli and others.

Wilfried Magnet, Professor of Carinthian Art at the University of Innsbruck, has been collecting and trading works by Carinthian artists for decades. He also collects and trades in art by artists who have lived in Carinthia. In his gallery Magnet sells works by famous artists such as Zoran Music, whom he describes as “almost-Carinthians”.
