New art café in the Hundertwasserhaus: art meets enjoyment!
The new art café in the Hundertwasserhaus is a real eye-catcher and a homage to the famous artist. Tatjana Christlbauer, the new person in charge, is not only an artist, but also an educator and sociologist. Under her leadership, the café becomes a place that combines art and gastronomy in an exciting way. The small oasis offers up to eight seats and exudes a quiet atmosphere. “The details of the food should be right,” explains Christlbauer, setting an example for sustainability and quality.
Not only has the cafe received a fresh coat of paint, but the orange counter remains unchanged, preserving the nostalgic feel of the place. There is a selection of brunch dishes that come with creative names, such as “Paquita – the spicy strawberry” and “Pumpernickel mini burger”. The guests are also treated to little stories about the dishes.
A space for art and encounters
Christlbauer wants a visit to the art café to be more than just a meal; it is a journey into the “Hundertwasser universe”. Spontaneous yoga classes and painting portraits of guests are planned. Documentaries about Hundertwasser are also shown to keep his spirit alive. Christlbauer is currently struggling with a staff shortage, so the café is only open Thursday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The catering sector in the area has gained great momentum. Café Friedlich is moving into the Kunsthaus Wien. According to the Kunsthaus Wien, the culinary offering reflects the artist's ecological and sustainable values. The tenants Daniel Karl and Julia Häußler attach great importance to regional and seasonal food and also offer various vegetarian and vegan options. The goal is clear: a gastronomic revitalization of the neighborhood around the Hundertwasserhaus.
Artistic inspiration
In the world of Friedensreich Hundertwasser, not only the café plays a role, but also his works of art. One of his most famous works, “Good Morning City – Bleeding Town,” is a screen print from 1970/71 that can currently be found in the Dorotheum. From the edition of 10,000 numbered copies, the color version with metal embossing particularly stands out. It is a fascinating mix of art and craft that honors the legacy of the famous artist.
The art café in the Hundertwasserhaus and the Café Friedlich in the Kunsthaus Wien are outstanding examples of how gastronomy and art can go hand in hand. It remains exciting to see how these new concepts continue to develop in Vienna's cultural landscape and what creative ideas the two places will produce in the future.
