A Glimpse of Paradise – Cornelius Kolig
Due to his grown unease with the art world, controversial artist Cornelius began to build his own paradise.
Hardly any other representative of Austrian contemporary art has been as fundamentally misunderstood as Cornelius Kolig. In the art world, the grandson of the expressionist Anton Kolig caused a furor for decades. Cornelius Kolig’s unorthodox forms of artistic expression were critically acclaimed, but his opposition to bourgeois moral concepts made him a persona non grata. His unease with the art establishment grew and he began to build his own paradise. In the documentary "A Glimpse of Paradise - Cornelius Kolig" by Horst Ebner, the actual picture of the multi-layered artist is traced.
This title, among other ORF music & performing arts highlights, will be presented at the upcoming Avant Première Music + Media Market 2023.
