“Many Viennese people and a great number of tourists will come face to face with this giant canvas. I’m absolutely delighted that Xenia Hausner is the artist for this year’s project. Her work Familiensinn touches on topical social issues that are also relevant to us as an insurer,” said an enthusiastic Günter Geyer, CEO of the Vienna Insurance Group.
