WALTER NAGL – Sammlung Krings 2023

The private collection Krings (Augsburg/DE) comprises over 40 works by the Tyrolean painter and sculptor Walter Nagl. We are very pleased to have been entrusted with the care of this collection and to be able to show it publicly for the first time in our gallery in a comprehensive exhibition conceived as a sales show.
The connection between artist and collector can sometimes be a special one. Through a continuous and thoughtful collecting activity, the artistic work is very well documented, also in the context of the time, and furthermore offers a creative freedom that is quite important for the artist. The collector couple Klaus and Renate Krings have accompanied Nagl and his art since their first encounter in 1980 - a friendship marked by mutual esteem has connected the two sides for decades. The exhibition shows various works from the period 1974-2006, including landscapes, still lifes and nudes in oil on canvas or wood, which are characteristic of Nagl's oeuvre as a whole, as well as some rarities that are otherwise hardly available - works from the figurative series 'Wampeler' and 'Ministranten', an early watercolour from a joint painting trip with Erwin Reheis or a masterly monochrome still life in graphite. Also on display are three outstanding small sculptures in bronze (standing / sitting).
A catalogue will be published to accompany the exhibition.
