KURT HÜPFNER | Resilience

As part of our participation in viennacontemporary 2025, we present our exhibition "Resilience" featuring works by Kurt Hüpfner (1930–2022).

At the center stands the figure of Hiob (Job), whose story of suffering, endurance, and spiritual confrontation touches on themes that remain as relevant today as ever.

In the biblical narrative, Job experiences personal loss and physical torment but faces his fate with a poignant mixture of despair, defiance, and faith. His unwavering search for meaning amidst devastation embodies resilience.

Surrounding Job are drawings and sculptures that pick up and continue these themes. They explore how resilience manifests in the face of chaos, loss, and transformation.

Our presentation invites visitors to view inner strength not as a static trait, but as a dynamic, evolving response to life's challenges.
