Bank Austria Kunstforum, Wien
Kunstforum Wien is located in Freyung 8 1010 Wien. Can be visited daily from 10 am to 7 pm
Since the renovation of the building located in the centre of Vienna in 1988, this exhibition venue has staged numerous exhibitions. From the beginning, the focus has been defined clearly as the presentation of top international exhibitions of classical modern art and its pioneers: Schiele, Kokoschka, Turner, Van Gogh, Cézanne, Picasso, Miró, Malevich, Kadinsky, Chagall, Braque, Bonnard and many more.
In 2005, a new exhibition space for contemporary art with 400 square meters was created in the empty basement of the Bank Austria Kunstforum – in the vault of the former Zentralsparkasse and Kommerzbank: the tresor. With it, the Bank Austri aKunstforum created a laboratory for the young and contemporary art scene. Issues of contemporary art are combined with socially relevant themes (‘Pablo Chiereghin: Riot Design’, ‘Corona Art’, ‘Anna Artaker: The Pencil of Nature’, ‘paraflows.XI - Identity’, ‘Rainer Ganahl: I Wanna Be Alfred Jarry", “Guido Kucsko: Double Coated IP Capsule”) can be combined in specific projects.
Around 230,000 people visit the exhibitions at the Bank Austria Kunstforum Wien every year. Over 150 exhibitions have been realised for an audience of millions from the beginning to the present day. This makes the building on the Freyung one of the ten most visited art exhibition centres in Austria and one of the top 25 most popular tourist attractions in Vienna.
