Let me give you only three examples of contemporary artists who illustrate very well the dense fabric of trans-frontier admiration and influence: Our collection includes two works by the Austrian painter Hubert Scheibl, one of the bestknown representatives of the new abstraction of the 1990s.
His works allude to the romantic landscape painting which reached its apogee in nineteenth century Europe in the work of J.M.W. Turner and Caspar David Friedrich. Like these artists before him, Scheibl attempts to capture the spirit of a mystical, pantheistic experience of nature.
