ARCOTEL Moser Verdino Klagenfurt - Postcard Collection

Did you know that the postcard originated in Carinthia?

The first postcard was created by the Klagenfurt resident Emanuel Herrmann, who was also related to the hotel’s former owners, the Moser family. To keep the postcard, which has since become a popular holiday mail and souvenir, from falling into oblivion, the ARCOTEL Moser Verdino offers its own postcard collection. Every year, the ARCOTEL Moser Verdino collection grows by one postcard depicting contemporary Carinthian art. Thus, young local artists are provided with an opportunity to present their work. In October 2009, the artwork of the year was chosen for the fifth consecutive time. The 2010 artwork was created by Tita Ruben and is entitled “Kater” (Male cat). Born in Wolfsberg in 1970, the artist was awarded the second prize at the 2004 BA Arts Awards. She is presenting her work at Galerie 3 in Klagenfurt.
