  • ABOUT US | WORLD OF ART

    Today, numerous artists can achieve sums in the millions for their paintings. Although the results are usually still well below the US$ 450 million of Leonardo da Vinci‘s Jesus, even these amounts are in a range that is unimaginable for normal earners. However, purchase prices do not necessarily reflect the fair market value of a work of art - they are often so called speculative or collector‘s prices. Works of art are always about seeing and personal, subjective perception. I therefore refuse to talk about a work of art. This is not only „very difficult, but perhaps even pointless“. Reinhard Fuchs c/o Fuerstenweg Publishing THE AUTHOR & THE CONTENT of THE BOOK What do Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh have in common? Apart from the fact that they were both artists? – Exactly, they have both unfortunately been dead for years ago. These two artists of the century have hardly earned any of the millions, or should I say billions, that their works of art have generated to date. So now the question arises whether the profit-oriented art market is only interested in works of art from the Middle Ages, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th centuries or whether it is also interested in their contemporaries. Do the prices of works of art only swing into the mil- lions after the artists‘ lifetimes? Not at all. A work of art also has nothing to do with language. Thus, all that remains for me is to look at the artworks and I, for my part, am sufficiently occupied with that.There will always be collectors, investors and „buying maniacs“ who will spend tens of millions on contemporary works of art. And it goes even higher. In this book, I present 275 of the world‘s most important and expensive works of art (that were freely available), that have been sold either at auctions or privately worldwide, or they are unsaleable and can be admired in the world‘s most famous art museums. As sales are not necessarily always made public or image data of the works and artists is not provided, this book cannot claim to be complete.The appendix also lists other works whose images are not available for publication.

  • 232, Salvador Dali, The-Burning-Giraffe-Die-brennende-Giraffe-1937

    Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, from 1982 Marqués de Púbol (* 11 May 1904 in Figueres, Catalonia; † 23 January 1989 ibid.), was a Spanish painter, graphic artist, writer, sculptor and stage designer. One of the main representatives of Surrealism, he is one of the best-known painters of the 20th century. By 1929, Dalí had found his personal style and genre, the world of the unconscious that appears in dreams. Melting clocks, crutches and burning giraffes became identifying features in Dalí's painting. His technical skill as a painter allowed him to paint his canvases in an old-master style reminiscent of later Photorealism. Dalí's most frequent subjects, apart from the world of dreams, are those of intoxication, fever and religion; his wife Gala is often depicted in his paintings. Dalí's sympathy for the Spanish dictator Francisco Franco, his eccentric behaviour and his late work often led to controversies in the evaluation of his person and his works up to the present day. Dalí was born in Figueres, Catalonia, and received his fine arts training in Madrid. Influenced by Impressionism and the Renaissance masters from a young age, he was increasingly drawn to Cubism and avant-garde movements. In the late 1920s he moved closer to Surrealism and in 1929 joined the Surrealist group, soon becoming one of its leading exponents. His most famous work, The Persistence of Memory, was completed in August 1931 and is one of the most famous Surrealist paintings. Dalí lived in France during the Spanish Civil War (1936 to 1939) before moving to the USA in 1940, where he achieved commercial success. He returned to Spain in 1948, where he announced his return to the Catholic faith and developed his style of "nuclear mysticism" based on his interest in classicism, mysticism and recent scientific developments. Dalí's artistic repertoire included painting, graphics, film, sculpture, design and photography, at times in collaboration with other artists. He also wrote fiction, poetry, autobiography, essays and criticism. The main themes of his work are dreams, the subconscious, sexuality, religion, science and his closest personal relationships. To the dismay of those who held his work in high esteem, and to the annoyance of his critics, his eccentric and ostentatious public behaviour often attracted more attention than his artwork. His public support for the Francoist regime, his commercial activities and the quality and authenticity of some of his late works were also controversial. His life and work were an important influence on other surrealists, pop artists and contemporary artists such as Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst. There are two major museums dedicated to Salvador Dalí's works: the Dalí Theatre Museum in Figueres, Spain, and the Salvador Dalí Museum.

  • 169, Gustav Klimt, Water-Serpents-II-The-friends-II-Wasserschlangen-II-Die-Freundinnen-II-approx-1904-1907

    Gustav Klimt (*14 July 1862 in Baumgarten near Vienna, today 14th district; † 6 February 1918 in Vienna, 9th district) symbolist painter and one of the most famous members of the Viennese Art Secession movement. His major works include paintings, murals, sketches and other art objects, many of which are on display at the Vienna Secession Gallery. Klimt's main motif was the female body, and his works are characterized by an overt eroticism - nowhere is this more evident than in his numerous pencil drawings. Klimt's work is characterized by the elegant golden or colored decoration, often phallic in form, that conceals the more erotic positions of the drawings on which many of his paintings are based. This can be seen in Judith I (1901) and in The Kiss (1907-1908) and especially in Danaë (1907). One of the most common subjects Klimt used was that of the dominant woman, the femme fatale. Art historians note a variety of influences that contribute to Klimt's distinctive style, including Egyptian, Minoan, classical Greek, and Byzantine inspirations. Klimt also drew inspiration from the engravings of Albrecht Dürer, late medieval European painting, and the Japanese Rimpa school. His mature works are characterized by a rejection of earlier naturalistic styles and use symbols or symbolic elements to convey psychological ideas and emphasize art's "freedom" from traditional culture.

  • 123, Claude Monet, The-Waterlily-Pond-Harmony-in-Pink-Le-Bassin-aux-nympheas-harmonie-rose-Seerosenteich-Harmonie-in-Rosa-1900

    Claude Monet (* 14 November 1840 in Paris; † 5 December 1926 in Giverny, born Oscar-Claude Monet) was a French painter, a founder of French Impressionist painting and the most consistent and prolific exponent of that movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions in front of nature, particularly in relation to landscape painting in the open air. The term "Impressionism" derives from the title of his painting Impression, soleil levant (Impression, Sunrise), exhibited in 1874 at the first Salon des Refusés (Exhibition of the Committee), which Monet and his collaborators organised as an alternative to the Salon de Paris. The early work up to the mid-1860s comprises realistic paintings, some of which Monet exhibited at the Paris Salon. In the late 1860s Claude Monet began to paint Impressionist paintings. An example of his paintings from this creative period is Impression, Sunrise, a harbour view of Le Havre, which gave the name to the whole movement. He thus moved away from the taste of the time, influenced by the traditional art academies, which worsened his financial situation. In the 1870s Monet took part in some of the Impressionist exhibitions, which also included artists such as Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Edgar Degas, and was particularly encouraged by the art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel. Monet's desire to document the French landscape led him to paint the same scene over and over again to capture the changing light and passing of the seasons. From 1883 Monet lived in Giverny, where he bought a house and land and began an extensive landscape project that included lily ponds, which would become the subject of his most famous works. He began painting the water lilies in 1899, first in vertical views with a Japanese bridge as the central feature, and later in the series of large-scale paintings that occupied him continuously for the next 20 years of his life. Monet's financial situation remained strained until the 1890s. It was during this period that Monet developed the concept of the series, according to which he painted a motif in different light moods. He also began to lay out his famous garden in Giverny, which he subsequently also used as a motif for his paintings.

  • Early Gothic

    Early Gothic is the style of architecture that appeared in northern France, Normandy and then England between about 1140 and the mid-13th century. It combined and developed several key elements from earlier styles, particularly from Romanesque architecture, including the rib vault, flying buttress, and the pointed arch, and used them in innovative ways to create structures, particularly Gothic cathedrals and churches, of exceptional height and grandeur, filled with light from stained glass windows. Notable examples of early Gothic architecture in France include the ambulatory and facade of Saint-Denis Basilica; Sens Cathedral (1140); Laon Cathedral; Senlis Cathedral; (1160) and most famously Notre-Dame de Paris (begun 1160). 1140-1250 Early Gothic Early English Gothic was influenced by the French style, particularly in the new choir of Canterbury Cathedral, but soon developed it own particular characteristics, particularly an emphasis for length over height, and more complex and asymmetric floor plans, square rather than rounded east ends, and polychrome decoration, using Purbeck marble. Major examples are the nave and west front of Wells Cathedral, the choir of Lincoln Cathedral, and the early portions of Salisbury Cathedral. Early Gothic was succeeded in the early 13th century by a new wave of larger and taller buildings, with further technical innovations, in a style later known as High Gothic.

  • Capitalist Realism

    The term Capitalist Realism was introduced between 1963 and 1966 by the painters Gerhard Richter (then still Gerd Richter), Konrad Lueg (artist name of the later gallery owner Konrad Fischer), Sigmar Polke and Manfred Kuttner to organise self-help exhibitions and performances under this title. What the four art students had in common was their rejection of established art movements, with the result that traditional exhibition opportunities remained closed to them. Richter and Kuttner already knew each other from the Dresden Art Academy, Polke and Lueg met at the Düsseldorf Art Academy between 1961 and 1962, where they studied with Karl Otto Götz. 1963-1966 Capitalist Realism At the beginning of 1963, they decided to organise a joint exhibition under their own direction. They rented a shop from the city of Düsseldorf at Kaiserstraße 31 A, the walls of which they first had to paint white. In a letter Richter wrote on behalf of the group, presumably in May 1963, to Fox's Tönende Wochenschau, the term appeared for the first time: "For the first time in Germany, we are showing pictures for which the terms Pop Art, Junk Culture, imperalist or Capitalist Realism, new representationalism, Naturalism, German Pop and some similar are characteristic." The exhibition opened on 11 May 1963.

  • Late Gothic

    Hardly any other epoch of art is characterised by such radical changes as the late Gothic period in the 15th century. Inspired by Dutch models, light and shadow, body and space were increasingly depicted in a realistic way. Everyday life enters the arts. 1350-1550 Late Gothic The invention of printing technology led to an unprecedented spread of images and texts. Artists such as Nicolaus Gerhaert and Martin Schongauer achieved national fame and influenced the development of the visual arts throughout Europe across all genres.

  • Hague School

    The Hague School is a group of artists who lived and worked in The Hague between 1870 and 1920. Their work was strongly influenced by the realistic painters of the French Barbizon School. The Hague School painters generally used relatively sombre colours, which is why the Hague School is sometimes called the Grey School. After the great flowering of Dutch art in the Golden Age of the 17th century, there were economic and political problems that led to a decline in artistic activity. Around 1830, the visual arts in the Netherlands experienced a revival, which is now called the Romantic period of Dutch painting. The style was an imitation of the great artists of the 17th century. 1870-1920 Hague School The most widespread paintings of this period were landscapes and paintings reflecting national history. Andreas Schelfhout was a painter of landscapes, especially winter scenes, but also of forests and the dunes between The Hague and Scheveningen. Among his best-known pupils were Wijnand Nuyen, Johan Barthold Jongkind and Jan Hendrik Weissenbruch. Schelfhout's friend and occasional collaborator Hendrik van de Sande Bakhuyzen mainly composed pastoral landscapes such as those of the Golden Age master Paulus Potter, but also trained several prominent artists of the Hague School, in particular his son Julius van de Sande Bakhuyzen, Willem Roelofs, Francois Pieter ter Meulen, Hubertus van Hove and Weissenbruch. Wijnand Nuyen was one of the best Romantic artists of his time and had a great influence on Weissenbruch and Johannes Bosboom. The painting of the Hague School came to fruition in the late 19th century, laying foundations for modernism in the Netherlands on which van Gogh and Mondrian later built. Thus they are among the direct precursors of Neo-Impressionism.

  • Duesseldorf School

    The Düsseldorf school of painting is a term referring to a group of painters who taught or studied at the Düsseldorf Academy (now the Staatliche Kunstakademie Düsseldorf or Düsseldorf State Art Academy) during the 1830s and 1840s, when the Academy was directed by the painter Wilhelm von Schadow. The work of the Düsseldorf School is characterized by finely detailed yet fanciful landscapes, often with religious or allegorical stories set in the landscapes. Major members of the Düsseldorf School advocated "plein air painting", and tended to use a palette with relatively subdued and even colors. The Düsseldorf School derived from and was a part of the German Romantic movement. Prominent members of the Düsselorf School included von Schadow, Karl Friedrich Lessing, Johann Wilhelm Schirmer, Andreas Achenbach, Hans Fredrik Gude, Adolph Tidemand, Oswald Achenbach, and Adolf Schrödter. 1818-1914 Düsseldorf School The Düsseldorf School had a significant influence on the Hudson River School in the United States, and many prominent Americans trained at the Düsseldorf Academy and show the influence of the Düsseldorf School, including George Caleb Bingham, David Edward Cronin, Eastman Johnson, Worthington Whittredge, Richard Caton Woodville, William Stanley Haseltine, James McDougal Hart, Helen Searle, and William Morris Hunt, as well as German émigré Emanuel Leutze. Albert Bierstadt applied but was not accepted. His American friend Worthington Whittredge became his teacher while attending Düsseldorf.

  • Bernard van Orley

    Due to his reliance on workshop execution, his many surviving works vary considerably in quality. Many drawings, mostly studies for designs for tapestries and stained glass, also survive. He or his workshop would have produced full-scale cartoons for the tapestries, but these were normally lost in the course of weaving, when they were cut into strips. The prevalent subject matter of his paintings are religious scenes and portraits, and he painted only a limited number of mythological and allegorical subjects. His portraits mostly depict members of the Habsburg dynasty and were produced in multiple versions by his workshop. The subject matter of his tapestries was more varied, reflecting the normal range of that medium, from biblical cycles to allegories, battle and hunting scenes. His father had been a tapestry designer in Brussels, and several of Bernard's descendants were artists. A number of them were still active in the 18th century. Bernard van Orley (between 1487 and 1491 in Brussels; † 6 January 1541 in Brussels), also called Barend or Barent van Orley, Bernaert van Orley or Barend van Brussel, was a versatile Flemish artist and representative of Dutch and Flemish Renaissance painting, who was equally active as a designer of tapestries and, at the end of his life, stained glass. Although he never visited Italy, he belongs to the group of Italianizing Flemish painters called the Romanists, who were influenced by Italian Renaissance painting, in his case especially by Raphael. He was born and died in Brussels and "served as a sort of commissioner of the arts for the Brussels town council". He was the court artist of the Habsburg rulers. He was extremely productive, concentrating on the design of his works, and leaving their execution largely to others, in the case of painting, and entirely so, in the case of the tapestries and stained glass. This he may have learned from Raphael, whose workshop in Rome was unprecedentedly large. *1487-1541 Bernard van Orley MORE FROM THIS ARTIST SEE MORE 30 | Altarpiece of Saints omas and Matthias ( omas– und Matthias-Altar der Zimmerleute), c. 1515 BUY NOW YOUR LIMITED VERSION GO ​ Be one of the owners of this limited edition and buy one of the 3333 hand signed books along with your NFT!
