Christa Hauer (1925 – 2013) was always in tune with the times. Her commitment as a gallery owner and art patron was particularly radiant. On the occasion of her 100th birthday, the Landesgalerie Niederösterreich is dedicating an exhibition to her multifaceted work.
Gallery in the Griechenbeisl: A Place for the Avant-Garde
Austrian artist and sculptor Christa Hauer spent the 1950s primarily in America. In 1959, she returned to Vienna full of energy and opened a gallery with her husband, painter Johann Fruhmann. Her father, Leopold Hauer, provided the young couple with the vacant rooms above the historic Griechenbeisl in the first district of Vienna.
Hauer quickly developed the gallery into a central forum for contemporary art, alongside the already established galleries Würthle and nächst St. Stephan. She established herself as a gallery owner in a male-dominated art world, offering a platform particularly for artists working conceptually and constructively.
Established artists such as Christian Ludwig Attersee, Maria Lassnig, and Martha Jungwirth celebrated their premieres at the Gallery in the Griechenbeisl. Additionally, art created beyond the Iron Curtain was presented to promote exchange between East and West. Within ten years, Hauer organized 122 exhibitions.
Schloss Lengenfeld: A Cultural Hotspot
After the closure of the Gallery in the Griechenbeisl in 1971, Hauer and her husband purchased Schloss Lengenfeld near Krems to live and work there. With exhibitions, theater performances, concerts, festivals, and symposia, it became a vibrant meeting place for art and culture enthusiasts. Furthermore, it also served as a center for innovative landscape preservation, environmental protection, and citizen participation. Hauer's initiatives in Lengenfeld significantly contributed to the cultural awakening in Lower Austria.
