To accompany the exhibition in the Austrian Pavilion for the 55th Biennale di Venezia, a landmark publication titled "Austria and the Venice Biennale 1895-2013" will be launched in May 2013. This scholarly, 400-page publication will present, for the first time, a comprehensive overview of each individual exhibition, with the help of previously unpublished photographs, plans and correspondence drawn from public and private archives in several different countries. The list of artists presented by Austria at the Venice Biennale over the last 120 years includes most, if not all, of the leading figures of its cultural avantgarde: from Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka, Hermann Nitsch and Arnulf Rainer to VALIE EXPORT, Maria Lassnig and Franz West.
