Ernst Hilger nominated as Austrian of the Year 2017 for cultural heritage

Ernst Hilger, a long-time supporter and friend of EIKON is nominated by the daily newspaper Die Presse as Austrian of the Year 2017.
As an gallerist, since almost fifty years, he set fire to many people with his limitless interest in art, especially he was an important mentor for a lot of young artists. Above all, he has contributed to the construction of various art fairs in Vienna. Since many years he represents Austria successful at art fairs all around the world.

We absolutely believe that he deserves to win this award and ask you to vote for him under this link.

Thank you for your support!

Best wishes
