  • Comment: A bit of an indiscriminate collection of works, the list (which is described as "Selected" ) would be better limited to those that are covered in secondary sources and established with citations, and the list of photos would be better limited to those that are covered and discussed in text.

Markus Redl, 2024

Markus Redl (born 1977[1]) is an Austrian illustrator, sculptor and author.

Art

[edit]

Markus Redl began a degree in psychology at the University of Vienna before changing to the University of Applied Arts Vienna, where he studied from 1998 to 2004; his teachers were Ingeborg Strobl and Erwin Wurm.[2][3]

As a sculptor, Redl works primarily with marble and bronze, but he also incorporates steel and wood into his work. Drawing is another focus, along with literature, and is part of a path that leads him to sculpture and is like writing for him;[4] text and writing play a central role in all aspects of his oeuvre.[5] “In his topics, he uses signs, ciphers, texts and symbols to go around the existence of things and the relations between meaning and appearance, e.g. in the Brecht Cycles”.[6]

In 2004, Redl began work on Die Bibliothek der Steine (Library of Stones)[7], creating a conceptual framework that relates postmodern varieties of art to stone and its traditional, artisanal processing.[8] “Markus Redl is an artist who sees his self-image as an creator not in the reproduction of figurative reality, but in the making of a new, complex, even complicated reality”.[9] His artistic work is characterized by statements that cancel one another out: “A subversive act of refusal, of questioning contexts of meaning, becomes evident”.[10] The post-structuralist mode of reflection and deconstruction is transformed and visualized as an eye that cannot see itself, but knows of its own existence. Redl has been working on Library of Stones Part II since 2020: “an attack on the archive […] authors form an anarchive”.[11]

His most important collector is the German businessman and patron of the arts Reinhold Würth;[12] the collection owns the largest ensemble of Austrian art outside the country.[13] For Reinhold Würth the artist created a walk-in sculpture (Obdach) from a 45-tonne block of marble over the course of 14 months. This monumental work was installed at the Abfalterhof (Villa Preuschen) in Salzburg in 2011.[14][15]

Markus Redl lives and works in Vienna.

Publications

[edit]

Markus Redl made the acquaintance of Josef Mertin, this led to a collaboration with his daughter, the actor Anne Mertin; Redl created stage pieces for the Fringe theater group Stadt Theater Wien, later known as Fritzpunkt. Here, he also collaborated with the Swiss theater maker Fred Büchel.[38] After publishing a number of text collages and essays he started working together with the publisher Batya Horn; his first play, a grotesque, was published in 2024.[39]
