Or Egon Schiele, Albin Egger-Lienz, Alfons Walde, Oskar Laske, Carl Moll\u2026and more. Not to mention a few international giants: I spotted works by Warhol, Haring, Chagall and Giacometti during my last visit, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stars of more contemporary Austrian times tend to feature strongly, too. Names like Hermann Nitsch, Gottfried Helnwein, Erwin Wurm, Herbert Brandl, Christian Ludwig Attersee, Friedensreich Hundertwasser and Arnulf Rainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, just to add a smidgeon of further variety, you might come across Russian iconography or artefacts from ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those unused to the rarefied air of the upmarket gallery, it comes as quite a shock to walk into an unobtrusive niche and discover paintings worth a good five or six figure sum by an artist you last saw in a solo exhibition at a prestigious art museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event also offers an opportunity to browse works by contemporary artists not yet granted such a museal privilege.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"><em>Ad:<\/em><br><\/div><div data-tiqets-widget=\"discovery\" data-cards-layout=\"horizontal\" data-content-type=\"product\" data-content-ids=\"974335,1007837\" data-partner=\"visitingvienna\" data-tq-campaign=\"DA_Albertina\"><\/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<p>I marveled, for example, at the <em>Pink Dance<\/em> treatments by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.positive-arts.at\/\">Isabel Simonel<\/a> (who was present). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And at Richard Kaplenig&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaplenig.com\/\">ability<\/a> to turn an everyday object like a sugar dispenser into a stunning painting with integrated geographical references.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the formal process of presentation and sale, the event often has some surprises for those with particular interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kunsthandel Widder, for example, had a treat for this travel journalist and history buff: Maximilian Hermann Neubauer&#8217;s painting of the Christmas market on Am Hof square from over 100 years ago (the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/christmasmarkets\/am-hof\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"858\">modern-day equivalent<\/a> was just outside the front door of the Park Hyatt at the time).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could still see the Radetzky statue in Neubauer&#8217;s painting (whose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/radetzky-monument\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"39896\">move to its current position<\/a> proved quite an undertaking).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also spotted four drawings by Paul Flora, a particular favourite of mine, allowing me to study his technique and even get a couple of tips from a friendly gallerist for my own pen and ink efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is big-time art, however. Exhibition and marketplace. Where a poorly-dressed writer like myself is not the target market (so a special thank you to the gentleman from Kunsthaus Wiesinger who took time to explain Kaplenig&#8217;s work to me).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Art at the Park<\/em> comes with a special bonus, of course: the location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside the Park Hyatt, take a few moments to admire the rooms themselves, particularly some of the ceilings. And look into the Bank Brasserie &amp; Bar on the ground floor for some true elegance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dates, tickets &amp; tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t have dates yet for the 2027 edition, but the previous one ran from February 19th to 22nd.
