Narcissus, an Interior
A highlight of the museum display is the installation “Narcissus, an Interior” from 1971, a major work by Erwin Eisch which forms an artistic critique on a society, which is stuck – on “point zero of modernity” (Peter Kobbe) – in individualistic-narcissist self-reflection.
In 2005 this major artwork returned from the City Museum of Regensburg to Frauenau as its place of origin.
