Augarten Contemporary

At the early age of 20, the painter Gustinus Ambrosi (born 1893 in Vienna) had his own studio in the Vienna Prater, a result of the largesse of Emperor Franz-Joseph. After the studio was destroyed in the Second World War, the Augarten Studio was taken over by a museum together with the Austrian federal government.

Today the Austrian Gallery in the Belvedere, in its Augarten Contemporary branch, shows popular special exhibitions. Apart from the Gustinus Ambrosi Museum, the building complex, which was designed in 1956 by Georg Lippert (1908-1993), also includes a sculpture garden, an apartment for an "artist in residence," and a restaurant (open daily 10 am - midnight).

Ambrosi's expansive oeuvre includes more than 2000 sculptures in stone and bronze. Along with memorials, fountains, and tombstone statues, he dedicated himself primarily to portrait paintings. He sculpted the likenesses of politicians, popes, businessmen, doctors, and merchants as well as contemporary artists, poets, philosophers, and composers.
