The schedlmayer collection

10TH SEPT. 2021–20TH FEB. 2022
LEVEL -2

The #leopoldmuseum hosts the first presentation of the Schedlmayer Collection – a ­collection which is still unknown to the wider public. Hermi (1941–2018) and Fritz ­Schedlmayer (1939–2013) spent nearly three decades passionately compiling an eminent selection of artisan craftwork and examples of fine arts. The history of the collection began in 1989, when the Austrian couple bought the Villa Rothberger in Baden near ­Vienna. They restored the house, which in 1912 had been extensively refurbished and furnished by the architect Otto Prutscher, discovered Prutscher’s multi-faceted work and set about researching his life and oeuvre with meticulousness and vigor. Hermi and Fritz Schedlmayer placed another emphasis on the fine arts and acquired exceptional works of German Expressionism by Karl Hofer, Christian Rohlfs, Max Pechstein and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, as well as eminent paintings by representatives of Austrian Modernism, including Broncia Koller-Pinell, Jean Egger, Anton Kolig, Franz Wiegele and Anton Faistauer.
