Review Thursday 10/6/2011
Thursday - AFA day!
But before the great show began, the KHM organized a special guided tour through the Picture
Gallery of the Kunsthistorisches Museum - and demonstrated that fashion has always played a major role in paintings.
And then it began! The tension rose to a peak, not only among the nominees! And also the decision of the AFA jury was
probably not an easy one considering the highly talented nominees.
Voilà, we congratulate the following winners!

City of Vienna: meshit
