Synopsis

Ten years ago, EVN Sammlung, an Austrian power company, set itself the task of collecting the most intensely contemporary art it could lay hands on, without concern for how the work would mature. Its first decade's booty, documented in this substantial catalogue, includes Liam Gillick, Fischli & Weiss, Andreas Gursky, Sol LeWitt, Anri Sala, Maurzio Cattelan, Thomas Demand and Sam Taylor-Wood.
