Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary

Founded in 2002 by Francesca Thyssen-Bornemisza in Vienna, Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary (TBA21) represents the fourth generation of the Thyssen family’s commitment to the arts.
 
TBA21 collection is the result of the foundation’s ongoing commitment to commissioning and disseminating multidisciplinary art projects that defy traditional categorization, including large scale installations, sound compositions, endurance performances, and contemporary architecture. Since the foundation believes that art has the capacity to be a transformational force, it explores new modes of production and presentation that are intended to provoke and inspire change. In 2015 Francesca Thyssen-Bornemisza decided to dedicate the foundation’s unique program to becoming an agent of change by focusing on the complexities and urgencies of the age of the Anthropocene.
