Though we&#8217;re not talking court portraits from the 17th century. Think Dal\u00ed, rather than D\u00fcrer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Various galleries from Austria and abroad come together to present works from across the contemporary art spectrum, with a dash of Vienna modernism and modern art alongside. The featured artists typically include both established global names, local favourites, and upcoming talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event occupies a prestigious historical location. Before 2022, this was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sightseeing\/hofburg\/\">Hofburg<\/a>, the former seat of the Habsburgs: a family and location with a rich artistic tradition of their own (the monarchs as collectors, the palace as a gallery for the contemporary art of its time).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Subsequent events continued the imperial theme by making their home in the 18th-century <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/schonbrunn\/orangery-2\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"15245\">orangery<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sightseeing\/palace-of-schonbrunn\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"1672\">Sch\u00f6nbrunn Palace<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The orangery actually has a long musical history. Mozart and Salieri presented works there, for example, and the venue <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/entertainment\/schonbrunn-classical-concerts\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5608\">still hosts classical concerts<\/a> today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"><em>Ad:<\/em><br><\/div><div data-tiqets-widget=\"discovery\" data-cards-layout=\"horizontal\" data-slug-ids=\"exp206741,exp238032\" data-partner=\"visitingvienna\" data-tq-campaign=\"DA_ConcTour\"><\/div><script defer src=\"https:\/\/widgets.tiqets.com\/loader.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dates-tickets\">Dates, tickets &amp; tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t see dates yet on the Art Vienna website at the time of writing. Keep an eye on that official website (see below) for full ticket and other details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If attending, look out for any special in-fair exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One time, for example, we could enjoy <em>Hofburg under the Carpet<\/em>, where participating artists each took a specific carpet as a starting point for developing unique artwork that examined issues around power structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The previous fair featured the recurring F exhibition: a curated showcase of the work of contemporary women artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should Art Vienna return to the orangery in 2026, note that the broader palace location and grounds are Vienna&#8217;s most popular visitor attraction. So you might want to reserve a bit of time for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/schonbrunn\/tour\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"161\">palace tour<\/a>, a wander through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/schonbrunn\/gardens-park\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"15260\">park<\/a>, or even a trip to the world-class <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sightseeing\/palace-of-schonbrunn\/vienna-zoo\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"1674\">zoo<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-get-to-the-hofburg\">How to get to the Orangery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/schonbrunn\/gettingthere\/\">See here<\/a> for more general directions and travel tips for reaching Sch\u00f6nbrunn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the few attractions in Vienna that actually has significant adjacent parking facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re not arriving by car or taxi, then the quickest way is the U4 subway line to Sch\u00f6nbrunn station, since you emerge more or less opposite the orangery on one side of the palace complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Address: Sch\u00f6nbrunner Schlossstra\u00dfe 47, 1130 Vienna | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artvienna.org\/\">Website<\/a> (for the event)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/u\/0\/embed?mid=1oN2SutdbrqOx-JViFyKk3v-X_Kw\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vienna is full of art museums, but also private galleries.
