About the auction

For the start of the fall season, our Online Only Modern & Contemporary Art auction offers a rich variety of artworks from the 20th and 21st centuries, with around 180 lots available.

Renowned protagonists of the Classical Modernism art, such as Max Beckmann, Erich Heckel, August Macke, and Heinrich Maria Davringhausen, are featured with drawings, prints, and paintings.  

The second half of the 20th century brings together typical artworks of Informel by Emil Schumacher and Rolf Cavael, Geometric Abstraction by Günter Fruhtrunk and Tom Feiler, and ZERO art by Heinz Mack, Turi Simeti, and Günther Uecker.
