So Much Art

Yesterday I was at the opening of the viennacontemporary art fair which unites art from the East and the West. More than 100 galleries and institutions from 23 countries gather under one roof and represent emerging and iconic artists. The art fair ends on Sunday, September 30. Unfortunately I didn't note who did the paintings in the photo.

Contemporary Art

Here is a collage of four artworks that have been on show at the recent viennacontemporary art fair and that caught my eyes. Can you guess which of them was a big hit on the social media?

The Entrance to the Art Fair

In this photo of the entrance area of the viennacontemporary you can see a little of the wrought iron construction of the Marx Halle.

Marx Halle

As I have already told you, I attended the opening of the art fair viennacontemporary last Wednesday. I didn't feel very well that night, so on Saturday I decided to go there one more time. The fair was held at the Marx Halle in the 3rd district. The listed building was erected at the end of the 19th century and originally housed the local cattle market, today it serves as a venue for large-scale events, concerts and fairs. Marx Halle was the first building in Vienna to have a wrought iron structure.

Just another Work of Art...

Yesterday evening I was at the opening of the art fair viennacontemporary  where around 100 galleries from 26 countries present contemporary art with a focus on Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe. In this pohoto you see a work of Austrian artists Maria Anwander and Ruben Aubrecht. The ironic title of "Just another Work of Art which will not go down in History" refers to the postmodern dictum that there are no more masterpieces.
