Oswald Oberhuber emerges in the 1960s as a central figure on the Vienna arts scene. His manifesto, in which he calls for constant innovation in art, underlies his own work as well as his activities as a curator and teacher. In his art, Oberhuber interrogates his own means, the circumstances in which art is made, and the concept of artwork and authorship. A characteristic example is the installation “Art without Artists,” which is related to an exhibition of the same title held at Galerie nächst St. Stephan in 1969. By accumulating trivial leftovers from his studio in stacked glass cubes, Oberhuber gives chance a say in his production.
