Summary

Together with the special exhibition Caravaggio & Bernini, the Kunsthistorisches Museum is showing a new series of works by the Austrian artist Klaus Mosettig in the Bassano Hall. His series The David Plates is based on X-rays of Caravaggio's painting David with the Head of Goliath from the collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum. The fifteen large-scale drawings were created by artist Klaus Mosettig in his Vienna studio over a period of almost two years, from the autumn of 2017 through to the summer of 2019.00The process that Mosettig used to make the drawings is every bit as mechanical and systematic as that which created the X-rays in the first place. The plates were first converted into medium format slides and beamed onto large sheets of paper. Working in strict positional sequence, Mosettig moved across each sheet from top to bottom, left to right, transferring the information that he received in the form of projected light into graphite strokes of varying intensities. Each stroke was applied in the same diagonal orientation, with Mosettig careful to minimize any sense of emphasis or personal interpretation, recording each detail as he saw it. Exhibition: Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien, Austria (15.10.2019 - 19.01.2020).
