My Generation : The Jablonka Collection

The Jablonka Collection is regarded as one of the highest-profile repositories of American and German art of the 1980s. In this catalogue the art dealer, gallerist and curator Rafael Jablonka (*1951) provides for the first time an insight into his wide-ranging collection, which is dedicated primarily to artists of his own generation. Rafael Jablonka has collected art for decades according to the basic principle of assembling multiple works from the different creative phases of artists. With some 120 works –paintings, works on paper, sculpture and installations –the catalogue introduces the oeuvres in question and shows a representative cross-section of the extensive Jablonka Collection, which was presented to the Albertina on permanent loan in 2019.
