Ringturm

The covering of the Ringturm – an expression of the cross-border cultural dialogue to which Wiener Städtische Versicherungsverein is committed – is now an established tradition, and in 2015 highlighted the Group’s close relationship with Croatia.

Commenting on the installation, Wiener Städtische Versicherungsverein CEO Günter Geyer said: “Croatian artist Tanja Deman’s piece Sommerfreuden [Summer Pleasures] for the 2015 covering of the Ringturm will this year present Vienna with a work that evokes a sense of wishfulness. It depicts the basic human desire for sun and pleasure, and is a kind of window that opens up a new perspective on city life at a glance.”
