Record auctions in Vienna: Oppenheimer and Jungwirth in focus
In the last two days, everything has been about art in Vienna. In the Dorotheum, one of the most famous art auctions in the city, two remarkable world record prices were achieved, which caused excitement in the collector's scene. The Highlight was the last self -portrait of the Viennese painter Max Oppenheimer, which was auctioned for impressive 700,000 euros.
This auction, which devoted itself to modern and contemporary art, took place on Tuesday and Wednesday. The self -portrait, dated around 1933, not only shows Oppenheimer's extraordinary artistic skills, but also has a tragic story. The Jewish artist left the painting in Vienna in 1938 when he had to flee from National Socialism. The work was later exhibited in the Historical Museum of the City of Vienna (today known as the Vienna Museum) and was restored to the heirs, two non -profit organizations.
another record in contemporary art
The recognition for Martha Jungwirth is growing steadily. In 2021 she received the large Austrian State Prize and her work has now received international attention. So her personal exhibition was recently celebrated in the renowned Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, which further consolidated its status in contemporary art.
Overall, the latest developments in the Dorotheum testify not only from the artistic qualities of the works, but also of the continuing importance of these artists for the art scene. The remarkable price of 700,000 euros for Oppenheimer and the new record for Jungwirth symbolizes success and interest in modern and contemporary art in Austria.
