BELVEDERE PALACE. GUSTAV KLIMT. VIENNA

Gustav Klimt 1862 Vienna – 1918 Vienna Owning altogether 24 works – portraits, landscapes, and allegorical scenes – by this renowned Austrian painter, the Belvedere houses the world’s largest collection of oil paintings by Klimt. A co-founder of the Secession and initiator of both the Kunstschau of 1908 and the Internationale Kunstschau of the subsequent year, Klimt contributed considerably to the international avant-garde’s breakthrough in Vienna. The Belvedere’s collection illustrates Klimt’s development from his initial attempts at Historicism to his Secessionist style and late period, in which he also responded to Fauve influences and the younger generation of Austrian artists, including Egon Schiele. MASTERPIECES OF GUSTAV KLIMT             Gustav Klimt was born on 14 July 1862, the second of seven children. When still studying at the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts, he founded a studio co-operative, the so-called Künstler-Compagnie or Company of Artists, together with his brother Ernst and Franz Matsch, one of his fellow students. Besides commissions related to the interior decoration of the municipal theatres of Karlsbad, Reichenberg, and Rijeka, the artists were entrusted with similar projects for the Vienna Burgtheater and the Museum of Art History in Vienna in the course of the development of the Ringstrasse. In 1897, Klimt was among the founders of the Vienna Secession and became its first president. He was deeply committed to a renewal of the arts and the promotion of young artists, such as Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka. However, a scandal flaring up over his Faculty Paintings in 1905 caused the artist to withdraw from public life. Henceforth, Klimt exclusively worked for the liberal-minded upper classes, painting his world-famous portraits of ladies. Their stylistic development is impressively visualized, from the early portrait of Sonja Knips (1898) to that of Fritza Riedler (1906), a sophisticated example of a rigid two-dimensional and ornamental painting style, and then on to the accomplished likeness of Johanna Staude (1917/18). Apart from these portraits, Klimt created mainly allegorical and symbolist works, the most famous of which is his depiction of two lovers (The Kiss, 1908). During the summer months, Klimt frequently retired to Lake Atter in Upper Austria, where created most of his landscapes, like Poppy Field (1907), Sunflower (1907), and Avenue in the Park of Schloss Kammer (1912). Gustav Klimt died from a stroke on 6 February 1918, at the age of 56 years. He left behind numerous unfinished paintings, including The Bride and Adam and Eve.

THE VIENNA NASCHMARKT

The Vienna Naschmarkt Vienna’s best-known market has around 120 market stands and restaurants for a colorful culinary offering ranging from Viennese to Indian, from Vietnamese to Italian. The Naschmarkt has developed into a meeting point for young and old. The Flea Market on Saturday is already a cult event. On the Naschmarkt, a colorful crowd buys fruit, vegetables and various delicacies from every country from dawn till dusk. Increasing numbers of trendy "in" places are also finding somewhere to set up in the more than 120 market stands, and even offer free WLAN. Culinary happenings on Naschmarkt in Vienna Do-An and Naschmarkt Deli were gastronomic pioneers. They have managed to make Naschmarkt interesting for a young, urban crowd. DJs also provide entertainment here on the weekend. Since then, numerous old market stands have become popular places to meet thanks to their modern architecture. Tewa on the Naschmarkt offers organic cuisine, Neni serves Israeli-Oriental specialties from shakshuka (eggs with vegetables) to taboulleh (Lebanses salad), while at Orient & Occident the wives of the owner whip up Turkish home cooking. Fish lovers get their money's worth at Umar. Many people considered it to be the best fish restaurant in Vienna. Fish restaurants worth recommending include Fischviertel, Nautilus and La Marée. Many other premises have also opened in the immediate vicinity of the Naschmarkt. On the Rechte Wienzeile, right across from the Naschmarkt, is Café Amacord. Excellent Viennese cuisine in a cozy ambience is the order of the day here. On the opposite side, on the Linke Wienzeile, is Café Drechsler. Designed by star designer Terence Conran, it is considered a modern twist on the typical Vienna coffeehouse. ON Market is a restaurant that never sleeps. The visually impressive restaurant with the colorful textile artworks on its walls offers fine cuisine from the coasts of Asia, from breakfast to the late-night snack. The Chiq Chaq at Theatercafé, in the notable ambience of architect Hermann Czech, specializes in burgers. There's lots going on at the Naschmarkt, especially on Saturdays, also because of the weekly flea market. The colorful throng is worth seeing, even if you don't want to buy anything. Particularly pleasant is sitting outdoors on the Naschmarkt in summer, eating, drinking and watching people go about their business.

THE HUNDERTWASSER HOUSE

The Hundertwasser House  A residential building of the city of Vienna, Kegelgasse 36-38, 1030 Vienna, Austria Original co-author Josef Krawina, architect Planning Peter Pelikan, architect Built under the mayors of Vienna Leopold Gratz and Helmut Zilk in the years 1983–1985 A house in harmony with nature.

Hundertwasserhaus es un complejo residencial municipal construido entre 1983 y 1986.  De diseño muy original, se convierte en una obra del pintor Friedensreich Hundertwasser, quien da nombre al complejo.

Hundtvasserhouse

La construcción tiende a parecer una construcción a piezas de un niño, algo así como un puzzle muy colorido, donde del interior de las habitaciones crecen árboles que dan al exterior de la edificación.

Por desgracia, después de la inauguración,no cumplió su objetivo al máximo debido a los problemas en la azotea del edificio. La azotea, compuesta por tejas, comenzaron a reblandecerse y las plantas del interior de las habitaciones causaron problemas a causa de los gastos adicionales que suponía.

La Hundertwasserhaus debe de ser deobligada visita en Viena. De hecho es una de las principales atracciones de la ciudad y forma parte del patrimonio cultural austriaco. Además del edificio, también es posible visitar un centro comercial realizado al mismo estilo, el Hundertwasser Village así como el museo Hundertwasser donde se exponen otras obras del artista creador del Hundertwasserhaus.

MUSIKVEREIN

Musikverein

This building is located on Dumbastraße/Bösendorferstraße behind the Hotel Imperial near the Ringstraße boulevard and the Wien River, between Bösendorferstraße and Karlsplatz. However, since Bösendorferstraße is a relatively small street, the building is better known as being between Karlsplatz and Kärntner Ring (part of Ringstraße loop). It was erected as the new concert hall run by the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde, on a piece of land provided by Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria in 1863. The plans were designed by Danish architect Theophil Hansen in the Neoclassical style of an ancient Greek temple, including a concert hall as well as a smaller chamber music hall. The building was inaugurated on 6 January, 1870. A major donor was Nikolaus Dumba whose name the Austrian government gave to one of the streets surrounding the Musikverein.

Great Hall - Golden Hall

“As high as any expectations could be, they would still be exceeded by the first impression of the hall which displays an architectural beauty and a stylish splendour making it the only one of its kind.” This was the reaction of the press to the opening of the new Musikverein building and the first concert in the Großer Musikvereinssaal on 6 January 1870.

The impression must have been overwhelming – so overwhelming that Vienna’s leading critic, Eduard Hanslick, irritatingly brought up the question of whether this Großer Musikvereinssaal “was not too sparkling and magnificent for a concert hall”. “From all sides spring gold and colours.”

Brahms Hall

"In order not to promise too much it can be said that it has been made into the most beautiful, most magnificent, perfect example of a chamber concert hall that any of us knows in the world.” This was the reaction of a Vienna daily newspaper in October 1993 as the Brahms-Saal was presented to the public after extensive renovation work.

The surprise was perfect. It was a completely new hall. In contrast to the Grosse Musikvereinssaal, the Brahms-Saal had changed its appearance quite considerably over the years. When and how it acquired that slightly melancholy duskiness that was known to music lovers before 1993 cannot be precisely documented.

Glass Hall

As a venue for events from concerts to luxury banquets, the Glass Hall / Magna Auditorium is not only the largest of the Musikverein's 4 new halls but also the most flexible in terms of usage.

Hub podiums enable the smooth transformation of the concert hall into a conference centre, the cinema into a ballroom, or the stage into a catwalk. State-of-the-art equipment for sound, lighting, video and widescreen digital projection provide the ideal conditions for half-scenic productions.
The Glass Hall / Magna Auditorium was designed by the Viennese architect Wilhelm Holzbauer. With a height of 8 metres, the hall (including the gallery) can play host to up to 380 visitors.
