Otto Mühl

Otto Mühl (born 1925) is an Austrian artist, who is best known as one of the co-founders as well as a main participant of Viennese Actionism. In 1972 he founded the Friedrichshof Commune, which has been viewed by some as an authoritarian sect. In 1991, Muehl was convicted of sexual crimes involving adolescents, and sentenced to 7 years imprisonment. The commune fell apart but Otto set up another in Portugal where he still continues to work.
