Helnwein´s celebrities, Wurm´s sculptures
Theresa Steininger
The Albertina shows photos by seven artists who focus on the body.
Michael Jackson, Elton John, Keith Richards, Clint Eastwood and Mick Jagger are only a few of all the celebrities Gottfried Helnwein has taken pictures of. In the exhibition „Body and Language“, the Albertina shows eleven photografies of the series Helnwein made for the book „Faces“, which also give evidence of how famous people create their own image.
