Gaislachkogl as "Peak of Optimism"

Stefan Sagmeister exhibition & dinner of the arts at 3,048 metres above sea level in Sölden

The ice Q in Sölden is probably the highest art gallery in the Alps until 2 April 2024: design star and Grammy award winner Stefan Sagmeister is showing his current exhibition “Better and better” for the first time in Austria. In it, he calls for more optimism – and presents works of art that are as unique as the exhibition location at 3,048 metres above sea level. At the “Dinner of the Arts”, you have the unique opportunity to spend an evening together with Stefan Sagmeister in the name of art & cuisine.

The exhibition:
Better and better

Stefan Sagmeister, who already designed album covers for the Rolling Stones, has many surprisingly positive things to report. From a comparative perspective of the last 200 years, our world has even become better and better. The New York-based Austrian calls for more optimism by using artistic data visualizations in order to point out the positive facts and figures of our era to all visitors.

The pictures are available for purchase.
