Als einzige Frau schien sie keinen Nachnamen zu brauchen, Ingrid, das wusste jeder, war die Frau vom Oswald. Österreich 1968. Zwanzig Jahre später, 1988, hat sich die Situation nicht gravierend geändert, die Kunstszene war von Männern dominiert. Was ein paar junge Künstlerinnen ziemlich nervte. Sie nahmen das berühmte Plakatmotiv der historischen Herrenavantgarde und stellten es zu viert nach. Daraus wurde die Einladung zur ersten Aktion dieser Gruppe, die wenig später unter dem Label „Die Damen“ beginnen würden, acht Jahre lang die bierernste Wiener Szene aufzumischen. Galerie Nächst St. Stephan, die Speerspitze der Avantgarde (1954 durch Monsignore Otto Mauer gegründet). Nachdem Joseph Beuys dort im Juli 1967 seine Aktion Eurasienstab abgehalten hatte, kam es dort 1968 zu der neben den Aktionen der Aktionisten wohl wichtigsten Manifestation in Wien: "Super-Design" mit Bruno Gironcoli, Roland Goeschl, Hans Hollein, Oswald Oberhuber und Walter Pichler – eine Schau, in der Hans Holleins mobile Architekturen auf Walter Pichlers Prototypen und Bruno Gironcolis erste Ansätze für Mutterschiffe trafen.

Gelatin silver print, early large format exhibition print 40 x 60 cm (15.7 x 23.6 in) Signed and dated by the photographer in ink in the image lower edge, signed, dated and annotated "Leica M3" by him in ink and pencil on the reverse, his name stamp, copyright stamp and several exhibition stamps (Wien Museum, 2008; Lentos Kunstmuseum Linz, 2002; Museum Joaneum Graz, 2002) on the reverse PROVENANCE directly from the photographer LITERATURE Christian Skrein, My Way. Photographs of the 60ies, Vienna 2008, p. 79. Like many of his images of well-known personalities of the 1960s, Christian Skrein's photograph of the four Beatles at Hamburg's airport in 1965 is not a mere artists' portrait, but the documentation of a historical moment, dynamic in its visual approach, stylistically assured, complex in its visual language. A child of his time, Skrein relied on his intuition, sure that he would be in the right place at the right time, releasing the shutter at the right moment. Throughout his career as a photographer, which only spanned ten years, he refused to be pigeonholed, feeling equally at home with staged advertising and fashion shots as in the field of street photography and documentary work. A part of the group and art scene surrounding the Viennese Actionists of 1968, he worked in Milan and New York, hobnobbing with rock stars, models and artists - no less than Andy Warhol among them. In this photograph of the Beatles, taken with a Leica M3, he achieves a complex, dense staging with a certain ironic twist: in the foreground, one sees the four musicians descending the boarding ramp in a vertical line; in the background the horizontal letters "BEA" on the airplane are automatically completed in the viewer's mind to form the word "Beatles". Actually, it was the British Airways logo. During this encounter between the 19-year-old Skrein and the world stars, they were so impressed with his easy informality that they invited him personally to the set of their film Help in Obertauern. There, the well-known series of the "Fab Four" in the snow was taken, depicting the group during the film's shooting and in unobserved, intimate moments.

Skrein's photographs of celebrities of the 1960s are not just simple artists portraits, but rather atmospheric snapshots. Here he also succeeded in creating a more complex and ironic image. The viewer completes the letters "BEA" in the background and associates "Beatles". Actually this is the logo of British Airways. Exhibition print, Wien Museum 2008 "Late Sixties". Skreins Fotografien von Persönlichkeiten der 1960er Jahre sind keine bloßen Künstlerportraits, sondern atmosphärische Momentaufnahmen.

Tatsächlich handelt es sich um das Logo von British Airways. Ausstellungsstück in "Late Sixties", Wien Museum 2008.
