Nick Treadwell
again who showed us around and gave us a tour of his vast collection. Nick Treadwell's gallery is a must-see in Vienna! Fantastic art from many well known (and not so well known) artists, and quite a few are my friends and members of my extended art network. I highly recommend a visit:

Große Neugasse 18, 1040 Wien.

Steemit World Map - Gallery Treadwell in Vienna

The Gallery is in the central fourth district of Vienna, close to the Naschmarkt, the Main Station, and the Museums Quarter. Plenty of Hotels/Cafés/Restaurants close-by, and it is located between the Kettenbrückengasse and Taubstummengasse underground stations (Approximately 8 minutes walk from both). Grosse Neugasse runs between the busy Margaretenstraße and Wiedner Hauptstraße.

Superhumanism and Nicholas Treadwell

It is not easy to maneuver around the website of Nicholas Treadwell - some updates are not apparent, like the move to Vienna (the blog on the entry page is hopelessly out of date) and some of the gems are hard to find, such as the whole interesting history of his enterprise.

About

After 48 years of deep involvement with art, artists and every aspect of creativity and those who make it happen, these are still the reasons I get up almost every morning full with enthusiasm for the possibilities of what might happen on that particular day. If it looks like being a quiet day, there are so many easily enthused creative friends with whom I can make contact for mutual inspiration, whether it be for art, film, theater, a festival or whatever activity. I have had close and long relationships with many extraordinary artists, and it is they who have given me an insight into their inspiration, content and the technical quality of their work. What they don't tell me, I am close enough to conclude for myself, and I have found my own way to explore and take in the history of the art in which I have become totally absorbed. What I haven't learnt from artists, I have learnt instinctively, authentically gaining an all encompassing view of the art which has become my obsessive specialization. I love people and am fascinated by people in general, particularly those who, on the one hand, create the life inspired work I wish to exhibit, and, on the other hand, those who instinctively respond to the emotionally provocative art for which my gallery is famous. …………….

SUPERHUMANISM

Superhumanism – the background

The first book of Superhumanism, published in 1979, quickly sold out of five thousand copies. It was followed in 1982 by Superhumanism 2, to coincide with a New York Superhumanism Exhibition. The published ten thousand copies were again sold out within three years. These books can still be found on Amazon or other internet book websites.

Superhumanism

It was the stimulating mood and social changes of the significant sixties decade that laid the foundations of the Superhumanist movement. I arrived in the art world in the early part of that decade with an open mind, but little knowledge of art. I had no real idea of what to expect from contemporary art. I didn`t check out what other galleries were doing, but trusted my instincts in what I wanted to put on show. Some breaking down of the British class structure meant that young people from the former working classes were suddenly having the opportunity for subsidised art education. I noticed that most of the artist in whom I was interested came from this strata of society. They were not inhibited by middle class taste values, and in their art they responded instinctively to what was going on around them with contemporary vitality.
