This book is dedicated to legendary art collector Franz Hauer. The
son of a mailman from Lower Austria, he became one of the key
figures of his time. Franz Hauer started out penniless, but became
an exemplary self-made man. After becoming wealthy by running the
legendary Griechenbeisl restaurant in Vienna, he began acquiring
art and built an art collection with important groups of works by
Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka. Hauer passed away in 1914, and in
the years after his death, almost the entire collection was sold.
Today, its treasures are held by numerous important museums and
private collections in Europe and the US. This book aims to portray
the fascinating personality of Franz Hauer as the first self-made
man among the Art Collectors in a new light - and to reconstruct
his legendary art collection.
