I know that the business practices of Google are sometimes really questionable, but the new Google office in Tel Aviv is simply stunning. I must admit that I envy the Google staff a bit.

Saul Leiter
Kunst Haus Wien – Museum Hundertwasser
Untere Weißgerberstraße 13, 1030 Vienna
31 January to 26 May 2013

Saul Leiter (born 1923 in Pittsburgh) is one of the leading pioneers of colour photography. Starting in 1946 he has been using this technology, which was regarded unartistic by his colleagues.

The exhibition in the ‘Kunst Haus Wien’ shows his early black-and-white and color photography, fashion photography, painted over nudes, paintings and a selection of his sketchbooks. But also new photographic works will be presented, that Saul Leiter still takes on the streets of New York’s East Village.

Adele List (1893-1983) was trained in several hat salons in Paris and Vienna. In 1924 she opened her first own shop in Kruger Street (1st district of Vienna). Her creations soon became a household name for elegant and sophisticated designs. Her hats were much in demand and even exported to Belgium and Turkey.
