Christine Lavant and Werner Berg: A love like an elemental force! The "Krone" series on their long-secret correspondence.

They are united in large format on the façade of the Werner Berg Museum in Bleiburg for the current exhibition - a couple, a picture that never existed. There has been much speculation about their relationship. Few knew what actually connected the poetry giant from the Lavanttal and the painter of the century from the Rutarhof. It is the stuff of which Greek tragedies are woven.
