Born in 1911, the late Austrian contemporary artist only began to receive widespread recognition well into her 60s, despite her extensive career spanning over 50 years.

In the 1901 book The Will to Power, Friedrich Nietzsche writes, “We have art in order not to die of the truth.” This sentiment, derived from a note that the German philosopher wrote in the late 19th century, reverberates across Alex Prager’s newest vignettes.
