Kunsthalle Krems, Krems an der Donau, Austria
November 22, 2025–April 6, 2026
Kunsthalle Krems presents Joe Bradley's first museum exhibition in Austria, with around 70 recent works, including both paintings and drawings.
For more than twenty years, Joe Bradley has been working on a multi-layered oeuvre that is characterized by graphic-comic-like figuration, minimalism and Colorfield elements. Many of the works also exhibit ironic traits that are often found in post-conceptual art. His works constantly alternate between abstract and figurative elements and refer to the Western painting tradition, ranging from Henri Matisse to Willem de Kooning. Bradley's most recent paintings are characterized by painterly density in an impressive blaze of colour, with graphic accents.
Joe Bradley's work has been exhibited in numerous international museums, including the MoMA and the Whitney Museum in New York. His works can be found in important collections such as the Buffalo AKG Art Museum in New York State and the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris. The Krems exhibition focuses on large-format, colorful paintings from Bradley's most recent work. The show is complemented by reduced drawings and readymade sculptures, which illustrate the multifaceted work of this important contemporary artist.
