We mourn the loss of Margherita Spiluttini

Margherita Spiluttini was an honorary member of the Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky Club.
She gave us a rich gift of wonderful photos. Most significant for us are the photos she took of Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky in her flat in 1981, showing the architect in action in her surroundings. In 2000 - after the architect's death - the magnificent colour photos of the flat in Franzensgasse were taken, capturing an irretrievable time.
 
In the first exhibition in the Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky space, in 1030 Vienna, in 2014, we were able to show these photos and look back with her. Margherita worked with Margarete on the first editions of "Erinnerungen aus dem Widerstand", published in Berlin and in Hamburg in 1985, she took the photos for all the important illustrations in this book.
Margherita Spiluttini was an impressively friendly radiant positive personality, a friend. We thank you.
