"The Most Beautiful Books of Austria 2024": Three Publications Received State Prizes

The state prizes went to "Architecture in Lower Austria in the 20th Century after Friedrich Achleitner" (Birkhäuser Verlag), designed by Christoph Schörkhuber, Stefan Mayer, and Christian Begusch, "On the New" (Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther und Franz König), designed by Beton, and "Territorial Urbanism Now!" (Jovis Verlag) designed by Liza Borovskaya-Brodskaya and Jakob Mayr. "A book is a total work of art that tells a story even before we open it," Babler expressed his delight at the existence of the prize. "The Most Beautiful Books of Austria 2024 once again demonstrate the extraordinary design and craftsmanship level that book art has achieved in this country," Föger expressed his pleasure.

The awarded titles will be on display in December as part of the exhibition "The Most Beautiful Books of Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands 2024" at the Main Library in Vienna. The works are also Austria's contribution to the international competition "The Most Beautiful Books in the World".
