16. November 2024 - Select pieces from Private Art Collections
Auction in Würzburg:
Saturday, 16 November 2024 – 2 pm (CET)
Preview:
From November 13 to 15 - from 10 am to 5 pm
And by appointment
The items offered cover a wide range, with an exciting selection of works in which we go from realism to idealism to abstraction. Works that remain stylistically committed to the traditional canon, but at the same time are characterized by an almost refreshing and fascinating artistic independence.
We are looking forward to the particularly passionate art collections of Susanne and Erwin Melchardt, a Viennese art critic for decades, cultural editor, professor and expert on non-European art at the Dorotheum and the Leopold Foundation, as well as the collection of Bruno Heimberg, former restorer of the Bavarian State Painting Collections and director of the Doerner Institute, Munich.
Their names are closely linked to the art collector Rudolf Leopold and
the gallery owner Fred Jahn.
