The Kunsthandwerksmarkt am Hof is located in a square in the centre of Vienna. Actually, there is a combination of two Christmas markets there. One half is selling the general mix of food, artwork and toys. Another half is a compilation of craftspeople selling their specialized works of art.
So, I talked with a potter who offered figures like the one in my photo. He also created figurines on demand. Back to the location: It is historic as it was the site of a court (German: Hof) at the beginning of Vienna.
If you visit this place in the evening, don’t forget to look at an intervention at a nearby office building. It is named “Yellow Fog” and was created by Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson.
