Martin Wirth, Hohe Tauern, Kitzsteinhorn, glacier ski area with skiers and ski lifts, 1991 (1939 – 2017 Ilsenburg), watercolour on card, unsigned, titled verso "Hohe Tauern" and "Kitzsteinhorn" and dated August 1991, snow-covered slopes with ski lifts and numerous skiers before brown rocky peaks, behind layered mountain ranges in blue and violet amid clouds and mist, condition commensurate with age, partly stained, image 36x48 cm (HxW) The Kitzsteinhorn in the Hohe Tauern lies within the Pinzgau municipality of Kaprun. With the glacier railway, which went into operation on 12 December 1964, Austria's first summer ski area was opened up on the Schmiedingerkees; from 1965 skiing was also possible here in summer. Summer skiing ended in 2007, and since 2011 the glacier ski area has served winter sports only in winter owing to glacier retreat. Wirth's sheet was made in August 1991, when summer skiing on the glacier was still possible. In 2011 the Galerie-Café of the Konradsburg in the Harz showed watercolours and graphic works by Martin Wirth in the exhibition "Natur und Kunst".
