Estimated prices, starting price, minimum sale price, limit, hammer price
In object descriptions, an upper and lower estimated price is stated in euros. The highest bid is expected within this range. The starting price is also stated online. As a rule, the starting price is the lower estimated price, but it
can be set higher or lower. The auctioneer increases the price by steps of approx. 10%, although it is possible to deviate from this. The highest bid wins, provided that the minimum selling price has been reached. If the seller decides not to sell the object below a fixed price, this is called the minimum sale price or limit. If this is not reached, the sale is considered conditional. Highest bidders are obliged to pay the purchase price within 7 days after invoicing.
Purchase price
The purchase price consists of the highest bid plus the buyer's premium, sales tax and, if applicable, the fee of artists resale rights. The buyer's premium amounts to 28% in case of differential taxation. The sales tax is included in the differential taxation.
In the case of normal taxation (marked ° ), a premium of 24% is added to the highest bid. For paintings, watercolors, drawings and sculptures, the statutory sales tax of 13% is added to the sum of the highest bid and the buyer's premium, for all other objects 20%.
Resale Right
Items marked * are subject to the resale right. This will be charged in the form of a surcharge on the highest bid. It only applies to highest bids over € 2,499.99 and is staggered: for the first € 50,000 4% will be charged.

Austrian artist and art educator. After his war service, Otto Erich Wagner studied with Franz Čižek and Rudolf Larisch at the Vienna School of Applied Arts, and from 1924 he was an assistant teacher in Čižek's class for general form theory. In addition, he taught interior and garden architecture. In 1925 he participated in the International Exhibition of Decorative Arts in Paris. After Čižek's retirement, Wagner was taken over by Ceno Kosak. He also taught at the Franz-Joseph-Realgymnasium. During World War II and under the Nazi regime, he continued to work at the School of Arts and Crafts as an assistant teacher. In 1944/45 Wagner was conscripted and sent to Yugoslavia. After his return from captivity, he joined the Vienna Secession in 1949 and worked as a freelance artist. Wagner's works were influenced by Viennese Kinetism, whose most important representative was Erika Giovanna Klien. Wagner, who graduated from the Teacher Training College in Vienna between 1919 and 1923 and also took classes at the Vienna School of Applied Arts from 1922 to 1924 with Franz Čižek and Rudolf Larisch, ranks among the abstract artists in interwar Austria along with Elisabeth Karlinsky, Erika Giovanna Klien, My Ullmann, Karl Steiner, and Alois Wachsmann. It is thanks to Franz Čižek and his course in ornamental form theory that the tendencies toward abstraction that had begun in France and Italy before World War I were now also being considered in Austria as a stylistic alternative to the prevailing representational mode of representation. Otto Erich Wagner, who had been friends with Egon Schiele and only became a member of the Vienna Secession in 1949, rose to become one of the most important representatives of Viennese Kinetism. This dominant Viennese art movement of the twenties was based on Italian Futurism and attempted to introduce the rhythms of movement and sounds into the two-dimensionality of the picture plane. Because very few of Čižek's students went on to the Wiener Werkstätten or other companies, this art movement disappeared from the scene again disappeared from the scene within a few years. In Wagner's kineticist oeuvre, suggestions from Giacomo Balla, Johannes Itten, Franz Marc, Picasso and Kandinsky, Robert Delaunay or El Lissitzky also shimmer through.
