Hi guys,
I'm going to visit Vienna for a couple of days.
Any recommendations, tips or suggestions?

Thanks in advance!!

The Beethoven Frieze.
Gorgeous Art Deco building with gold globe.
Interior all painted by Gustav Klimt.
It's stayed with me for ever.

The Hundertwasser house is am interesting piece of architecture too.
Check Hundertwasser's art, and you will get a feel for whether the block of flats by him is worth a visit. I liked it.

The Vienna Biennale is on until mid-October with a number of locations across the city

And loads of photos please

Check out Inoperable Gallery
www.inoperable.at/new-page
They are very nice and also have a streetart guide for free there! You will also find the collaborations/project they did with famous artists around the world - who they invited to paint murals in Vienna!

Also be sure to visit RabbitEyeMovement (Nychos' gallery) - there's always nice exhibtions there and if you are lucky you meet Nychos working
rabbiteyemovement.at/

If the weather is nice, be sure to go and borrow a City Bike and go along the Danube Canal (Underground station "Schwedenplatz" is the best to start at). Down at the Danube Canal there is the most street art you will find in Vienna - it is also legal to paint there

If you are interested in more classical art go into Leopold Museum
www.leopoldmuseum.org/en
and into Art Historical Museum Vienna
www.khm.at/en/
both are 2 minutes away from each other and very much worth visiting!

If you need more tips, I'm partly living in Vienna!

Thanks guys for your great advice!! Vienna was amazing. The architecture, the coffee, the Schnitzel ;-)
We went to the Beethoven Frieze, to the Hundertwasser Haus and a couple of museums, Leopold Museum was amazing!! I was a bit disappointed about the urban art scene in Vienna. We went to inoperable gallery like NN recommend, but they didn't have much to offer and nobody who could give me information about local artists or murals. Unfortunate Rabbiteyemovement was closed. Street Art just didn't existed ( except of Invader, we found 10 but a lot were removed or destroyed).
Thanks again for your help. I'll post some pictures soon

Isn't the Beethoven Frieze beautiful?

Yes it really was! It's a stunner!! I'm a big fan of Klimt, therefore it's a must see in Vienna. Klimt is timeless. I feel like he still influences current artists. This might be a bit far-fetched but I see influences for example in prefab 77's work. Thanks again for the tip @coach

First of all thank you NN for your advice. I'm not sure, just my feelings. We've only been there for 3 days, therefore not much time to discover the city. I've talked to a few people who now the city and the street art scene and they told me that my impression is right. The invader issue is true, we found at least 6 removed or destroyed pieces. Perhaps I'll discover more street art next time.

I was there is February and found about 13 intact Invaders including the huge bridge piece. Also massive piece by ROA amongst other more local artists. If agree though, 'street art' is not as widespread.

Yeah we also did see ROA. I'm not complaining, perhaps I had exaggerated expectations. Vienna is such a beautiful city with or without street art.

Today I had a business meeting at ANKER in Vienna and saw Shepard Fairey and Faile at their factory. Not new, but new for me ...

Sad that a post like this gets no likes after four hours. Not many of us left interested in art on the street? No wonder most of the chaos who used to post loads of street art and graff don't anymore. Grrr. (Rant over).

Thanks for posting these pics sanssouci.

And if you don´t have the chance to come to Vienna to see the ROA, here we go...

[grief]

The bottom is plain at the moment, so you don't see the tags anymore

[grief]

Last time i saw it there was this PUBER cross on it
