To mark the beginning of the anniversary year, Hotel Sacher Vienna presents two sculptures by internationally renowned Austrian artist Erwin Wurm at its entrance: "Step Big" and "Dancer," oversized handbags on long, slender legs. The installation can be understood as a poetic reflection on the "invisible baggage" each person carries, shaped by origin, history and experience. At the same time, this collaboration highlights Sacher's strong connection to art and culture.
"I made these walking, jumping, dancing and stepping bags to address certain ideas about how we design ourselves, how we present ourselves, how we pretend, what we want to be, and how we want to be seen – both in the male world and the female world," explains Erwin Wurm.
The foundations of Sacher date back to 1832, when Franz Sacher created the Original Sacher-Torte. To this day, it is handcrafted in 34 individual steps and is considered a culinary icon of Vienna. With the opening of Hotel Sacher Vienna in 1876, Eduard Sacher continued this success story and, together with Anna Sacher, established the hotel as an internationally renowned meeting place for society. Hotel Sacher Vienna is one of the few privately owned, family-run five-star superior hotels, a member of , and was listed among .
