Deix Archive

Manfred Deix (1949 – 2016) will not be forgotten! The enfant terrible of the caricature scene provoked, shocked, and touched upon social taboos like few others.

The Karikaturmuseum Krems’s in-house Deix archive offers viewers the unique opportunity to view over sixty of the exceptional artist’s works up close.

In 2024, the Deix archive will focus on the anniversary show I Love Deix. In addition to the young, prominent, edgy, political, strident, devout, and erotic Deix, one of the artist’s favorite subjects will also be on display: politician Jörg Haider. No other caricaturist has him depicted in so many different situations and roles. Works from the 1970s, when Deix increasingly worked with ink, and sophisticated watercolors from the 1980s, also provide the chance to admire his works. Treasures from the State Collections of Lower Austria that have not been shown for some time round out the Deix Archive in 2024.

Manfred Deix to-go or for at home! In Deix's digital archive you can listen to the young, strapping, political, erotic, prominent and religious Deix. So turn on the sound and listen to exciting things about the exceptional artist and his work!
