ADD’L DETAILS
Paul Zwietnig-Rotterdam is recognized as one of the most influential Austrian personalities of the past half-century. Born in Vienna, Rotterdam completed his education in art at the Wiener Kunstakademien and studied philosophy at the Universität Wien (Vienna). Between 1968 and 1987 he taught at the Visual Arts Center at Harvard University, while also serving as visiting professor at the Cooper Union School of Art (1975), the University of Texas at San Antonio (1979-1980), Columbia University (1982) and the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Vienna (1994-1995).

Today, his drawings, paintings, sculpture and installations are the subject of five books and are represented in more than 25 major museum collections, including the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Musée de Nice and the Musée d’Art Moderne-Beaugourg (Paris). His contributions as an artist, theoretician and teacher earned him the esteemed Austrian Cross of Honour for Science and Art from the Federal Minister for Education, Art and Culture in 2007.
