ALBERTINA MODERN’s major fall exhibition is dedicated to outstanding artists from both countries.

Even as a child, she was welcomed by the guests at her parents’ establishment with a glass of schnapps in their hands. As a born and bred “Puschterin” [someone from Pustertal] and with experience in hospitality, Gudrun Huber now runs the Hofergut in her South Tyrolean homeland. With a great deal of passion and enthusiasm, she looks after both her guests and the almost 1,000-year-old property. She’s like the Fairy Godmother of the building. We asked her about where the walls express their historic charm, which collector’s items are hidden here and what she takes out of the smokehouse at night, plus much more.

On the occasion of Louis Vuitton’s first Voyager show, which took place in Shanghai on 18 April, the Maison is now unveiling its extended collaboration with artist Sun Yitian. Known for her photorealistic paintings of toys and other mass-produced items, she has created an exclusive series that brings the Pre-Fall 2024-Collection to life in a colourful way. The collaboration spans ready-to-wear, leather goods, trunks, accessories and fragrances.
