The pluralism of styles and the rapid development of modern art make it particularly interesting for collectors. Every year, world records make for exciting auctions and positive press reports.

In choosing our offerings, we are committed to meeting the high quality standards of our clientele. We approach the acquisition of rare artworks that are fresh on the market as an incentive and challenge.
Three times a year, we offer important works of international modern art at our auctions, but our special focus is undoubtedly on the Viennese Modern Age, represented by Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, and Oskar Kokoschka. Another emphasis is on Austrian artists of the New Objectivity school, and we achieve top prices for works by Franz Sedlacek and Rudolf Wacker. Tyrolean Modernism, represented especially by Alfons Walde and Albin Egger-Lienz, is another of our core offerings.
Our expertise is based on long years of experience, profound professional knowledge, and intensive research. We work closely with other experts from Austria and abroad as well as with institutions and naturally take into consideration the latest research findings in order to maintain our high quality standards.
No less important to us is keeping our customers informed about the latest developments in the auction market in a dependable and comprehensible manner.
