Description: Salzburg: Müry Salzmann Verlag, 2013. 22cm., pbk., 192pp. illus. German-English text. Exhibition held at Wiener Versicherung Gruppe, Wien. Summary: With a wealth of explanatory material, sample photos, articles and graphics, the exhibition “Theophil Hansen: Classical Elegance in Everyday Life”, part of the “Architecture in the Ringturm” series, underlines Theophil Hansen’s position as one of Austria’s leading figures in architecture. Loans, especially from the renowned Austrian glass company J.L. Lobmeyer for which Hansen designed many objects, give a further insight into his work. A series of photographic essays gives visitors an inside view of Hansen’s most important buildings. The exhibition offers a detailed exposition of the buildings which formed Theophil Hansen’s vision for Viennese architecture: the Palais Archduke Wilhelm, Epstein and Ephrussi, the Palais Hansen/Hotel Kempinski, the Alte Börse, the Wiener Musikverein, the Academy of Fine Arts and the Parliament building. It also examines some of Hansen’s less well-known works in the former crown lands of the Habsburg monarchy, including five landmark buildings in the Czech city of Brno and the Invalidenhaus in Lemberg, then the capital of Galicia (now part of the Ukraine.
