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 ° in the catalog), 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. Thereafter, for each additional €150,000, 3% and 1% respectively, and for €500,000 and above, 0.25%. The maximum resale right charge is 12,500 €.

Carry Hauser was born as Karl Maria Hauser on February 16, 1895 in Vienna. His father is an official in the Ministry of the Imperial House and Foreign Affairs, his mother Maria Hauser, née Linke, the daughter of a Moravian landowner. Carry Hauser and his brother Heinz, who is three years his senior, are initially taught at home by their mother, who is a teacher. Hauser grew up in an art-interested environment of the Viennese educated middle class, with frequent visits to the theater and exhibitions. From 1905 to 1910 he attended the Schottengymnasium in Vienna and then switched to the Graphic Teaching and Research Institute for two years. At the same time, he completed an evening course in ornamental form theory with Franz Cˇižek at the school of applied arts. 1912 Carry Hauser attended the school of applied arts for two years, first in general form theory with Oskar Strnad and in the second year in nature studies with Adolf Böhm. During this time he received basic artistic training in the general department under the direction of Alfred Roller, which was characterized by extensive practical workshop training using a wide variety of techniques. He also attends the evening nude class with Oskar Kokoschka, the class for nude studies with Anton von Kenner, ornamental form theory with Franz Cˇižek and writing and heraldry with Rudolf von Larisch. In November 1914 he left the School of Arts and Crafts early, after passing all the exams, and in the same month he volunteered in the army with the Deutschmeister Regiment as k. and k. Deutschmeister. After training as an officer, he was transferred to the First Infantry Regiment in Austria-Silesia, where he did his military service in present-day Poland, Ukraine and the Czech Republic. Towards the end of the war he stayed in Chernivtsi and worked on pictures for a regiment exhibition. The experiences of the war, the contact to intellectual and pacifist circles and above all the death of his brother Heinz shaped him and allowed him to emerge from the war as a pacifist. Back in Vienna after the end of the war, Hauser established contacts with the art historian, art critic and collector Arthur Roessler and the playwright Franz Theodor Csokor, for whom he designed stage sets and costumes. Hauser is a founding and executive member (until 1922) of the artists' association Die Freie Bewegungs (The Free Movement), which organizes exhibitions of international contemporary art. At the same time, he works as an artist for the Wiener Graphische Werkstätte publishing house, which mainly publishes modern Austrian literature. From the very beginning he devoted himself intensively to theater and literature in addition to the fine arts. In October 1919, Carry Hauser had his first personal exhibition in the house of the young artists. The modern art of the interwar period has fallen into oblivion and young artists orientate themselves towards international trends and the conservative taste in art of the National Socialists is increasingly harder to shake off. Hauser begins to campaign for the reconstruction of the modern art and cultural landscape of his homeland. He follows the events of the Art Club and is involved in the founding of the New Hagenbund. He intensified his collaboration with theater and literary circles and from 1947 to 1973 he was a member of the Austrian P.E.N. Clubs, of which he became general secretary in 1952 and where he also served as vice president until 1972. In 1947, a personal exhibition with 50 works from the period after 1938 took place in Lincoln, USA. In 1949 he received the City of Vienna Prize for Graphics and Applied Arts. In 1951 he resigned as President of the New Hagenbund due to internal disagreements. In 1952 he was a member of the professional association of Austrian resistance fighters and victims of fascism. Co-founder and temporarily vice-president of the professional association of Austrian visual artists, member of the board of trustees of the documentation archive of the Austrian resistance and president of the action against anti-Semitism as well as president of the Federation of Modern Visual Artists in Austria. In the 1950s he drew the illustrations for the book Das Weltbild der Moderne by Karl Renner and worked on several ceramic mosaics for the municipality of Vienna (including Voltagasse 1210 Vienna, Märzstraße 1150 Vienna, Theresienbad 1120 Vienna, Simonygasse 1180 Vienna). From the 1960s on, Carry Hauser regularly travels to Croatia, Israel and above all to Africa. Numerous sketches are created on these trips, in which he captures nature and the local people. At the same time he takes part in international exhibitions, in 1960 in the Kunstverein Braunschweig and in the Galerie de Bourgogne in Paris, in 1964 a personal exhibition in Jerusalem follows. One year later, in 1965, he received the Golden Medal of Honor and in 1985 the Ring of Honor of the City of Vienna. Until the end of his life, it was above all the experiences of his travels to Afrika that had the greatest impact on his artistic work. His love for Africa began in 1967 with a cruise on a cargo steamer via Gibraltar and the Suez Canal to South Africa. Several stays in East and West Africa followed, e.g. in Freetown in Sierra Leone, in Mombasa in Kenya, in Cameroon, on Zanzibar in Tanzania, on Djerba and in Tunis. Hauser finds something in Africa that he probably misses in his homeland and describes it in the following words: "...Africa has a substance - the Africans have a substance - that has grabbed me, so that everything I've written lately , what I painted has to do with Africa and came out of this African experience, because I see something here that I think is a view of the world..."
