of his exhibition practise for the first time, encompass- ing both his earlier and later works. A balanced obser- vation of the various media that Warhol used shows that his modes of presentation should be understood as an essential part of his oeuvre. Two different as- pects of the artist‘s personality will be juxtaposed on two levels of the museum – with the oft quoted staged side contrasting with the hidden, almost unnoticed side of his persona. “Defrosting the Icebox” presents Andy Warhol as a curator. Although this exhibition does not include his works, it does contain his presentation strategies that broke from traditional museum standards. Instead of prioritising the visual arts, Warhol exhibited works of applied art. Instead of applying a classification system of chronology, medium or style, Warhol presented ob- jects without consideration of history and hierarchy. The exhibition will present selected works from the col- lections of Vienna‘s museum of ethnology, Weltmuse- um, as well as fragments of Greek and Roman sculp- tures from the collections of Vienna‘s museum of art history, Kunsthistorisches Museum. “Misfitting Together” addresses serial formations as a common component of the three artistic direc- tions of pop art, minimal art and conceptual art. This exhibition shows how strongly these three directions influenced one another and how difficult it is to cat- egorise them in an art-history sense. Works by Andy Warhol are joined by works of Lutz Bacher, Daniel Bu- ren, Hanne Darboven, Jan Dibbets, Jasper Johns, On Kawara and many others that depict a more nuanced picture of the times.
