A Collector's Tribute
to the Art of the Piano

Collector's Item

Tree of Life

With the Tree of Life Grand Piano from our Collector’s Item Artist Series, we honor Gustav Klimt not only as one of the most important Austrian painters. With his interdisciplinary works and their ancient oriental, early Christian and East Asian influences, Klimt was already in his own lifetime an artist of world renown.

Camellia

For thousands of years people have been fascinated by the rich colours and intoxicating scent of the camellia. Immerse yourself in its world of opulence and timeless symbolism, the camellia after all stands for friendship, harmony and beauty.

Secession

Now one of the most photographed buildings in Vienna, the word Secession contains not only the building itself but also an artistic association, a style of construction and design, as well as a philosophy upon which everything is based. Inspired by this zeitgeist, of unity in diversity, the design of the Bösendorfer Secession Grand was developed.

250 Years Beethoven

This Beethoven proclamation adorns the right shelf of the music stand likewise in mother-of-pearl. The Grand Piano Beethoven Edition from the Bösendorfer Artist Series is limited to an edition of 15 pianos, each with an individually numbered plaque on the key block.

Oscar Peterson

In the late 1970s during a concert in Vienna, Peterson turned to his impresario, Norman Granz, with the words: "Dammit, Norman, where does this box go? I also gotta have such a thing!" This was the beginning of great friendship. Peterson not only treasured his own personally selected Bösendorfer piano model 290 Imperial. He also performed at Bösendorfers 175th Anniversary Concert “A night in Vienna” at the Golden Hall of the Musikverein in Vienna.

Cocteau

Jean Cocteau ( 1889-1963 ) was a French writer, designer, playwright, artist and filmmaker. He was a contemporary of Picasso and had working associations with many world famous artists and musicians like Igor Stravinsky and Erik Satie. Cocteau was fascinated by the Orpheus legend. Orpheus was considered to be the greatest musician of all time. Apollo, god of music, gave him a lyre. We apply the original Orpheus image from Cocteau using the silk screen technique that Cocteau himself often used.
