TERMS OF AUCTION
Extract from the Rules of Procedure, as of April 2022
The auctions are conducted in accordance with the Rules of Procedure of the Widder Auctions of Kunsthandel Widder GmbH. The exact wording of these rules is available at the auction house and can be downloaded from www.widderauktionen.com.
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. 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 €.

In 1898 Kubin went to Munich, studied at the academy with Nikolaus Gysis and continued his education autodidactically. His encounter with the works of Ensor, Klinger, Munch and Redon was decisive. In 1902 Kubin had his first exhibition in Berlin. The poet Max Dauthendey and the collector and publisher Hans von Weber became important patrons. The publication of the Weber-Mappe in 1903 brought the breakthrough. In 1904 Kubin was represented at the Secession exhibition. He met Fritz von Herzmanovsky, with whom he had a lifelong friendship, and established contacts with important Expressionist artists. In 1910, the banned scandalous play by the psychiatrist and writer Oskar Panizza enticed Kubin to illustrate "Das Liebeskonzil, " a private print of the "Gesellschaft der Münchner Bibliophilen." In 1912 he began working for the newly founded "Simplicissimus". During the First World War, Kubin occupied himself with psychoanalysis and philosophy. In 1921 he had his first retrospective. He produced lithographs and was also active in literature. Works in magazines and illustrations for literary figures followed. In 1909 he founded the Neue Künstlervereinigung München (N.K.V.M.) together with, among others, Wassily Kandinsky, Alexej von Jawlensky, Adolf Erbslöh, Gabriele Münter, Marianne von Werefkin and Karl Hofer. In 1911, the N.K.V.M. gave rise to the editorial team of the Blauer Reiter, in whose second exhibition, which included only graphic works, Kubin participated in 1912. He illustrated some 60 books, including works by Dostoevsky, Oskar Panizza, Edgar Allan Poe and Elias Canetti Kubin corresponded with Karl Rössing, Hermann Hesse, Hans Fronius and Otto Coester. In the 1920s, on the occasion of literary evenings, he frequented the home of Otto Bamberger, an entrepreneur, art collector and Bauhaus supporter who was a friend of his and who also acquired graphic works by Kubin. From 1930 Kubin was a member of the Prussian Academy of Arts in Berlin. In 1949 he became a member of the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts. Kubin was also a member of the Prague Secession. In 1931 Kubin produced the stage design for Richard Billinger's drama Rauhnacht at its premiere in 1931 at the Munich Kammerspiele, directed by Otto Falckenberg. During the National Socialist era, 63 of his works were defamed as "degenerate art" and confiscated. The design of his grave site was created by the sculptor Karl Prantl. In 1955 Kubin bequeathed his estate to the Republic of Austria in his will. After his death, this was divided between the Albertina and the Upper Austrian State Museum. Alfred Kubin was a cousin of the art historian Otto Kletzl.
