Opening again after Corona Lockdown
Wiedereröffnung nach Corona Lockdown 
Dear friends of the Ernst Fuchs Museum!
After one month in lockdown, we are all the more pleased to be able to open our doors again to all art lovers! As of May 4th, the Ernst Fuchs Museum in the Otto Wagner Villa is open again at the usual times: Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 4pm. Reservations in advance are not necessary for a visit, tickets are available on site or in our online ticket shop. There is also a new feature: The pandemic forces us to be inventive and so we have decided – until we are allowed to reopen our Café Esther in the garden of the Villa normally again – to offer drinks and food TO GO from now on. So when you visit the museum, your physical well-being will also be adequately catered for! Stay healthy and we look forward to welcoming you at the museum soon! Tip: When the weather is sunny, a visit to the museum can be combined very nicely with a walk in the forest!

Snakes and Ladders
Game of Life and Tribute to the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism
VINDOBONA ALTARPIECE III
For some time now I've been asked to write a little something about this work by the collector who owns it. I finally did take the time and wound up writing something just short of my life story. I composed it on Google documents and downloaded it as pdf, which I then uploaded to Issuu.
While I had set out to make this a tribute to the Vienna School, the subtitle Snakes and Ladders also alludes to the Game of Life, as in the words of Salman Rushdie (Midnight’s Children):
All games have morals; and the game of Snakes and Ladders captures, as no other activity can hope to do, the eternal truth that for every ladder you hope to climb, a snake is waiting just around the corner, and for every snake a ladder will compensate. But it's more than that; no mere carrot-and-stick affair; because implicit in the game is unchanging twoness of things, the duality of up against down, good against evil; the solid rationality of ladders balances the occult sinuosities of the serpent; in the opposition of staircase and cobra we can see, metaphorically, all conceivable oppositions, Alpha against Omega, father against mother.

Negativer "Stern" Artikel über Ernst Fuchs
Wir sind schockiert über den unwahren und diffamierenden Artikel im deutschen "Stern" über den angeblich verwahrlosten Zustand von Ernst Fuchs. Es ist unglaublich, dass sich eine einst angesehene Zeitschrift wie der "Stern" die Liebenswürdigkeit von Ernst Fuchs ausnützend und jeden journalistischen Kodex ignorierend, zu so einer Berichterstattung herablässt. Es wurde nicht einmal davor zurückgeschreckt, Ernst Fuchs im Schlaf zu fotografieren.
Kein Wunder, dass sich die Auflage dieses "Nachrichten-Magazines" in den vergangenen Jahren praktisch halbiert hat.
Wir haben am Erscheinungstag der Verleumdungs-Geschichte sofort Journalisten kontaktiert und sie eingeladen, Ernst Fuchs spontan zu besuchen. Die Reporter der "Krone", des "Kurier" und der Tageszeitung "Österreich" sind unserer Einladung gefolgt und konnten sich davon überzeugen, dass es Ernst Fuchs gut geht, und dass er umgeben von seiner Kunst und seinem Lebenswerk ein selbstbestimmtes Leben führen kann, wie es vielen anderen Menschen in seinem Alter leider nicht möglich ist. Die Artikel haben wir an diesen Blog angehängt.
Wir schreiben Dir/Ihnen diese Zeilen in erster Linie, um eure/Ihre möglicherweise bestehenden, aber wie gesagt unberechtigten Sorgen zu zerstreuen, sollten Sie den unwahren Artikel gelesen haben. Der Artikel ist derartig tendenziös geschrieben, dass er sich selbst diskreditiert und jedes detaillierte Kommentar überflüssig macht.
Wir möchten Sie aber auch wissen lassen, dass sich Ernst Fuchs und seine Familie diese entwürdigende, gegen alle Regeln des Anstandes verstoßende, öffentliche Diffamierung nicht gefallen lassen wird und dass nach Konsultation eines anwaltlichen Spezialisten alle anwendbaren rechtlichen Schritte unverzüglich eingeleitet werden.
Im Namen der Familie Fuchs
Negative "Stern" Article about Ernst Fuchs
We are shocked by the false and defamatory article in the German "Stern" on the allegedly neglected state of Ernst Fuchs. It's incredible that a once prestigious magazine as the "Stern" would take advantage of the kindness of Ernst Fuchs, ignoring every journalistic Code and stooping to such a coverage. They did not even shy away from taking pictures of Ernst Fuchs in his sleep.
No wonder that the editions of this "news magazine" were practically halved in the last few years.
We immediately contacted journalists on the day of publication of this defamation story and invited them to visit Ernst Fuchs spontaneously. The reporters of the "Krone", of the "Kurier" and of the daily newspaper "Österreich" have accepted our invitation and were able to convince themselves that Ernst Fuchs is well, and that surrounded by his art and his life's work he can lead an independent life, which for many other people of his age is not possible. The items we attached to this blog.
We are writing these lines to you in the first place,to dispel your possibly existing, but as we said unwarranted worries, should you have read this untrue article. The article is so tendentiously written that it discredits itself, and any detailed comment is superfluous.
But we would also like you to know that Ernst Fuchs and his family will not tolerate this degrading, contrary to all rules of decency, public defamation and that after consultation with a specialist lawyer all the applicable legal steps will be taken immediately.
On behalf of the Fuchs family
STERN, issue Nr. 21, 13.5.2015.
the magazine is available in news outlets throughout Europe,
primarily in German-speaking countries.
Here are the reactions of Austrian newspapers:
"Kurier", "Österreich" and the "Kronenzeitung"
Articles are in German, pdf files open in separate window
| This is very sad -another Icon of the Fantastic Realists is gone. This would have gone largely unnoticed (what a shame, actually) were it not for Sigrid Nepelius posting in her German language webzine Phantastisch. A quick websearch reveals that there is nothing at all, other than this article on Phantastisch. The papers didn't notice, and neither the english nor the german wikipedia articles had been updated. |  |
The Phantasten Community mourns one of its greats. The Viennese painter and graphic artist Wolfgang Hutter (13 December 1928) passed away on September 26, 2014. Hutter was a founding member of the Art Club and one of the main representatives of the famous Vienna School of Fantastic Realism. His magical canvasses are worked out to the smallest detail and reveal his sensitive handwriting. Hutter's art encompasses also tapestries and mosaics such as the mosaic floor in the Theater an der Wien. For three decades, Wolfgang Hutter worked as a professor at the Vienna University of Applied Arts. In 1977 he received the Prize of the City of Vienna for Visual Arts, 2011 and he was honored with the Golden Medal for Service to the City of Vienna. Let's hope that the death of Wolfgang Hutter is no longer ignored in the public media. Such a large and internationally important Austrian artist and his family should in any case be granted the final tribute in the form of an honoring obituary. Many thanks to Gerhard Habarta without whom the sad news of the death of Wolfgang Hutter and this little obituary would not exist.
