Visiting Toni Kurz in Austria

On the road back from our holidays in Austrian Alps to Vilnius we have visited famous artist’s book curator, friend of artist, man of culture – Toni Kurz and his wife Christa. He many years was working in Horn promoting artist’s books and artists with the “International Artist’s Book Biennial Horn” / “BuchKunstBiennale Horn” in  Kunstverein Horn in Austria.
