The Vienna Künstlerhaus ((ドイツ語:Künstlerhaus Wien)) is an art exhibition building in Vienna. It is located on Karlsplatz near the Ringstraße, next to the Musikverein. It was built between 1865 and 1868 by the Austrian Artists' Society (''Gesellschaft bildender Künstler Österreichs, Künstlerhaus''), the oldest surviving artists' society in Austria. It has served since then as an exhibition centre for painting, sculpture, architecture and applied art. Since 1947 it has also managed a cinema, which is used as one of the screening venues for the annual Viennale film festival. ==History of the society== The society has its roots in the suburb of Laimgrube, now part of Mariahilf. Here, on the site of a guesthouse, Leopold Ernst had a Neo-Gothic festival hall built (at a great loss) in 1847.〔(Rezension: Wladimir Aichelburg, Das Wiener Künstlerhaus 1861-2001 ) Gerd Pichler, ''Kunsthistoriker aktuell'', 2003. 〕 The hall became the meeting place of the Society of Young Artists and Academics, which was founded in 1851 and later renamed the Albrecht Dürer Society.〔Walter Koschatzky: ''Rudolf von Alt'', 2nd edition, Böhlau, Vienna, 2001, ISBN 3-205-99397-7, p.214 (). 〕 In 1861 it merged with another artists' society, Eintracht, to form a new association representing Viennese painters, sculptors and architects: the Vienna Artists' Society. In 1868 the society moved into its current premises. In 1897 a number of modern artists seceded from the Künstlerhaus and founded the Vienna Secession. In 1972 the society opened its membership to practitioners of applied art, and in 1976 it was renamed the "Austrian Artists' Society, Künstlerhaus". Since 1983 the Society has included filmmakers and audio-visual artists among its members. Its limited company (''Künstlerhaus-Ges. m. b. H.''), founded in 1985, organises exhibitions both for the Künstlerhaus and for other museums and institutions.〔("Künstlerhaus" ), ''Austria Forum,'' 12 March 2010. 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vienna Künstlerhaus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
