The 4,000m2 artwork by renowned Austrian painter Johanna Kandl, called With the Best Ingredients, will adorn the building until the end of November. Designed to mark Wiener Städtische Versicherungsverein’s 200th anniversary, the work reflects the values that have underpinned the success of Austria’s largest international insurance group since day one: courage, solidarity and togetherness. The giant canvas was officially unveiled on Tuesday 10 September in a ceremony attended by prominent society figures as well as guests from the worlds of politics and business.

More than 180 young people from 20 countries answered the call for their ideas and thoughts on the topic “With each other – for each other: Acting in solidarity in everyday life”. “Promoting intercultural exchange between young people has been one of our leading priorities for many years now, and the VIG YouthDays provide an ideal opportunity for cross-border dialogue. At the same time, the teenagers have the possibility to familiarise themselves with the Group’s values, including solidarity, diversity and mutual understanding, in an enjoyable setting,” commented Peter Thirring, Deputy Chairman of the Wiener Städtische Versicherungsverein Managing Board.
