Behind the
scenes
At the heart of Bad Gastein, a youthful undercurrent is stirring. Once a refuge for emperors and empresses seeking the healing powers of nature, the village has been somewhat forgotten in recent decades. Today, thanks to a small but mighty creativity community, the pocket-sized paradise is slowly re-emerging from the shadows of its former self - and for good reason.
Stay tuned as we shine the spotlight on some of Bad Gastein’s latest happenings and Europe’s finest talent through a series of collaborations with gallerists and artists.

the cōmodo x Iwo Borkowicz
Acclaimed architect and sculptor Iwo Borkowicz strives to convey the relationship between classical beauty and mundane awkwardness – in spaces, places and art. His latest work includes a piece for the cōmodo – a sculpture inspired by Bad Gastein’s snow, and its finite availability.
