• A sceptical look, a hodgepodge of objects, gaudy colors: Xenia Hausner shows an intriguing glimpse into her protagonist's everyday life.
• The title "Petit Nobel" refers to the Danish cigarillos in the middle of the table, or perhaps to an unrecognized genius sitting opposite us?
• In 1997 shown in a solo exhibition at the Kunsthalle Wien and the Museum der bildenden Künste, Leipzig.
• The artist is acknowledged as one of the most important contemporary figurative painters; her works are regularly shown in major group and solo exhibitions
