The bluish oil painting shows a young child's head with closed eyes. It is titled "Der lange Atem wird kürzer" (The long breath gets slower) and was created by the internationally renown artist Gottfried Helnwein as an advertisment for the Austrian governmental Klima- und Energiefonds. It was unveiled on 1st December 2008. The facade was rent for the advertisment only till Spring 2010, so it's possible that the painting will disappear...
