TheArtGorgeous

We had the best time! What an incredible, glowing, wonderful group of humans. Behind the scenes and as guests. We thank all our partners Basel Tourismus, Switzerland Tourism, Fondation Beyeler, Simon Auscher, Chloé Perrin, Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois SA and everyone who joined us! While the true Basel can only be experienced of course in Switzerland, we came close: Amazing hospitality, exceptional food and culture of the highest tier. 💕 🇨🇭 🥂 🌟 💕

I am thrilled to announce that I've completed my first month as a Editorial Assistant at TheArtGorgeous! This incredible journey wouldn't have been possible without the amazing team welcoming me so warmly: - A huge thank you to Peigi, Maria, Arianna, Lizzy, and Emma for the warm welcome. - A special thanks to Maja for her invaluable guidance, encouragement, and for uncovering so many opportunities. - I also want to express my gratitude to Cordelia, the founder of The Art Gorgeous, whose vision and dedication in creating this platform inspire me every day. It's wonderful to see a different side of the art industry. I'm excited to share that I have the incredible opportunity to work on the next issue of The Art Gorgeous magazine and membership program.

The TheArtGorgeous Team has been so busy and we’re excited to celebrate a great halfterm of art and connections and love with you! 🤍🥂🙌

Story-time, but also CITY GUIDE! So, last week I got to head to Vienna, and apart from seeing dear friends from the art realm and beyond and visiting a truly little gem of an art fair (really, so well done Spark art fair - alas impossible to find on here - go google them if you are curious ;), ate all the Schnitzel and we also launched our first ever city guide in collaboration with the magnificent Heidi Horten Collection (also, as it seems, not present on here hahahah, gotta love the art world :) anywho. So yes, a private collection by an eccentric, extraordinary art lady, led by an amazing female team, who apart from stunning works also hosts school kids almost every day of the week. Like a lot of them. So good. Teach 'em young, have 'em see art prior generations deemed not worth "it", ( google "entartete kunst" if you don't know what I mean), have them connect in a non-verbal realm, learn those institutions are very much also for them. But I digress. Take the children in your life to museums. SO: I got to also launch our first-ever city guide at this magnificent gem of an art institution. I am humbled and extremely thankful to all my incredible contributors (who mostly are not on here as well and now it feels unfair to tag only some...) they answered questions such as "where to hide from the artsy folks" and "where to be seen", "how to spend a day with aaaaaall the funds" and "on a limited budget" and generally sweetly shared all the things and thoughts and places to eat and visit and it is a gem. Olivia Fritz did most touching, magnificent illustrations, and my incredible team worked across all its time zones to finish this in time. Next stop Hong Kong. Those who desire their own copy, head to the Heidi Horten Collection, Vienna if you enjoy print as much as we do. It includes two pages for your own notes, and I so hope one day I will get my hands on an extended version. Those that are fine to enjoy a digital version: We got you! https://lnkd.in/evjDEZqK (and yes, I totally make you sign up for our newsletter, before you get the download, if you are already a subscriber you won't be entered as a duplicate...)

Das neue Jahr beginnt mehr als spannend. Denn seit gestern sitzt nun auch ganz offiziell Anna Maja Spiess bei uns am Steuer, während ich mich dem Thema (Corporate) Grief widme. Ich bleibe TheArtGorgeous aber nicht nur aus vollstem Herzen verbunden, sondern auch für Corporate Projects als Chief Visionary Officer an Board. Also, lasst uns 2024 gemeinsam schöner machen. Angesichts aller Dinge, die uns allen derzeit so um die Ohren fliegen, ist da doch viel Luft nach oben.
