Die Ausstellung Wachs in seinen Händen. Daniel Neubergers Kunst der Täuschung rückt ein heute wenig beachtetes Medium der Kunst – jenes des Wachses – in den Fokus. Im Zentrum der Schau im Kunsthistorischen Museum Wien steht der heute weitgehend vergessene Künstler Daniel Neuberger (1621–1680), ein Meister im plastischen Formen mit Wachs und dem Imitieren verschiedenster Materialien und Oberflächen. Die oft nur wenige Zentimeter großen Kunstwerke waren in ganz Europa begehrt und auch heute noch überzeugen sie durch ihren augentäuschenden Illusionismus.
