Founded in 1707 by a Habsburg emperor to help aristocrats overcome financial distress, the Dorotheum is today - more than 300 years later - one of the world's leading auction houses. Having worked myself at the Dorotheum for 12 years, I am delighted to share my "insider knowledge" of the house with you on this tour. - How does an auction work? Who sets the price and how can you place a bid? - Why were the wines and cognacs of the Austrian Emperors auctioned at the Dorotheum? - What does provenance mean and why is it so important to pay close attention to it? - Why is a stuffed teddy bear worth EUR 18, 000 and what other top prices were achieved at the Dorotheum? I will share this and much more with you when you join me on this journey through the exciting world of art auctions. Enjoy an entertaining and informative tour with true Viennese art history.
- Welcome and introduction to the history of the house (ca 30 Minutes) - Tour of the house, during which we will visit the jeweller's and auction sections (ca 45 Minutes) - Explanations of the objects on display (ca 45 Minutes) After the tour, you can visit the stylish Cafe Dorotheum, where you can enjoy refreshments and typical Viennese pastries. Please note, any purchases in the cafe are not included in the tour price. ATTENDING A LIVE AUCTION Depending on the tour-date and the Dorotheum auction calendar, we might get the opportunity to attend a live-auction on certain dates. Please note that this is a non-binding additional offer and not a guaranteed part of the Dorotheum tour. A possible visit to a live auction will eventually take place after the regular house tour. I will stay with you for about 30 minutes during the auction to give a few explanations and information. After that you can stay at the auction on your own as long as you enjoy it.
