Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary

Founded in 2002 in Vienna, Austria, Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary (TBA21) represents the fourth generation of the family’s commitment to the arts. As a foundation, TBA21 has a pioneering reputation throughout the world for initiating art projects which are informed by meaning and purpose. As of 2015, TBA21 is dedicating itself, its resources and reputation to drawing attention to the urgent need to protect our natural resources, our environment, and as such ourselves. The foundation pursues this agenda by deploying its expertise and skillset for the commissioning and dissemination of ambitious and unconventional projects that defy traditional art categorizations. This approach reflects the vision of TBA21’s founder and chairwoman, Francesca von Habsburg.
