For *Vienna, Vienna, Only You Alone*, Oláh adopts the perspective of his predecessors, visits their locations, and depicts the city and its surroundings as they appear today in his photographs. The selection of subjects is not arbitrary. It was determined by Wigand’s Vienna miniatures, set in magnificent caskets, as well as the five outstanding watercolors by Rudolf von Alt in the Heidi Horten Collection.

Thus, the exhibition offers a unique opportunity to compare the “past” with the “present” while also exploring the work of the three artists from a very specific perspective. This journey takes us from the “Spinnerin am Kreuz” through the center of Vienna—with St. Stephen’s Cathedral and St. Charles’s Church—to Schönbrunn Palace and finally into the Gastein Valley: Stefan Oláh’s eye misses nothing. His gaze is not judgmental, but rather analytical. Oláh depicts places that have undergone hardly any changes in over 200 years, while others are now literally “built over.”
