The book is dedicated to legendary Viennese art collector Franz Hauer. The son of a mailman from Lower Austria became one of the key figures of his time. Franz Hauer started out penniless, became an exemplary self-made man, and built an art collection with important groups of works by Egon Schiele, and Oskar Kokoschka. Today, its treasures are held by numerous important museums in Europe and the US. After becoming exceedingly wealthy by running the legendary Griechenbeisl restaurant in Vienna, Franz Hauer began acquiring art and soon turned to the latest artistic currents of his day. He owned important groups of works by Albin Egger-Lienz, Egon Schiele, and Oskar Kokoschka. He passed away in 1914 at the age of 47, and in the years after his death, almost the entire collection was sold. The book aims to portray the fascinating personality of Franz Hauer as the first self-made man among the Art Collectors in a new light on the basis of extensive research and reconstruct his legendary art collection.
