Glass mosaic „Wetterhändler

The 1940 born Austrian Pop Art painter Prof. Christian Ludwig Attersee, who was also active as an author, musician, stage designer and formerly also as a sailor, is responsible for one of the most striking facades on the largest Viennese shopping mile, the Mariahilfer Street in the district of the same name. Completed in 1996, the glass mosaic „Wetterhändler“ on the exterior of an int. textile chain is considered the largest in Europe with its 210sqm and was made by the mosaic artist Elio Macoritto.

Already early picture cycles from the 1960s called „Weather Pictures“ and „Rainbow Anomaly“, his closeness to Viennese Actionism or his „object inventions“ with fantasy names such as „Speisekugel“ or „Attersteck“ show the diversity of the multi-awarded international artist, who is also considered a co-founder of the „New Austrian Painting“.
