!!!Hagenbund

Hagenbund, founded 1900 as "Kuenstlerbund Hagen", along with the 
Kuenstlerhaus and the Secession the third most important Viennese 
artists´ association, 1938 dissolved by the National Socialists. 
Exhibitions arranged from 1902 (except 1912-1918) in the Zedlitzhalle 
exhibition centre, where not only members of the association (e.g. O. 
Laske, G. Merkel, J. Urban) but also guests such as A. Faistauer, O. 
Kokoschka (1911), A. P. Guetersloh and E. Schiele (1912) were 
presented. After World War I (numerous new members, e.g. C. Hauser, G. 
Ehrlich, V. Tischler) the Hagenbund, as the most progressive Austrian 
artists´ association of the time, was one of the few to take 
cubism seriously (e.g. L. F. Graf) and  New Objectivity (F. 
Lerch, O. R. Schatz, etc.). Exhibitions of contemporary art (e.g. 
E. Schiele commemorative exhibition, 1928; European sculpture, with P. 
Picasso, E. Barlach, M. Klinger and Rosso, et al., 1931). Because of 
the unfavourable economic situation the Hagenbund was also forced to 
hold historical exhibitions from 1928 onwards.

\\
After World War II members of the Hagenbund founded the "Neuer 
Hagenbund" (New Hagenbund) (directors: F. Luby, F. Herberth); arranged 
exhibitions in Austria and abroad until around 1960 and was again 
active 1982-1984.
