(email address: foundation@generali.at) ; Collection, Reference Room Manager, Doris Leutgeb (email address: found.studienraum@generali.at ).</div> <div> Governing[ Foundation. The Generali Foundation was founded in 1988 as a non-profit association of the Generali Group Austria in order to foster contemporary visual arts. The members are three corporations within the insurance group, the Generali Holding Vienna AG, Generali Versicherung AG, and Generali Ruckversicherung AG. </div> <div> Business[ Insurance.</div> <bR> <div> Year[ 1980s, new Foundation building completed in 1995.</div> <div> Size[ Approximately 600 art objects.</div> <bR> <div> Description[ In 1995, the foundation opened a building in the center of Vienna, next to the Secession and Museums Quarter. The core objective of the Generali Foundation is to set up an international collection focusing on contemporary sculpture as well as its research and documentation. The works in the collection date back to the late fifties/early sixties. The historical positions they represent are juxtaposed with current ones of the nineties. The collection does not target a complete overview but rather emphasises certain artistic positions or issues. These include conceptual and performative aspects, the crossovers of architecture and design as well as approaches that critically explore the role of the media and social parameters. The term sculpture is not restricted to object art, the plastic arts, or to the use of specified media, but is broadly defined to embrace photography, film, video, and installation, as additional keynotes of the collection. The Foundation also collects books and other ephemera, rare publications, and archive material that relate to the collection. Preservation and, if necessary, restoration of important historical bodies of works are among the Generali Foundation’s achievements. </div> <bR> <div> The collection that has been evolving since the end of 1988 has a historical background. Originally a collection of contemporary Austrian sculpture was planned. It was supposed to provide a coherent overview and to take into account important references to the post-war period (Wotruba, Hoflehner, Urteil). At the end of the eighties object art experienced an upswing in Austria as well due to the general art boom. As a sort of side activity, the walls of the new main building of the Generali Austria Group in downtown Vienna were also decorated at this time with works on paper by younger Austrian artists which had been purchased by the Foundation. </div> <bR> <div> Location[ In the Generali Foundation in Vienna. </div> <div> Viewing[ The collection is not on permanent display. The collection is made accessible to public viewing at regular intervals through the Foundation’s own exhibitions. The collection is also presented through loans to other institutions, which have included the last Documenta in Kassel/Germany, and the Whitney Museum of American art in New York. </div> <div> Status[ Ongoing.
