Exhibitions Vienna 2016

The coming year will see many promising exhibitions open in Vienna. A peek at past auction items from Dorotheum provides a good overview of the exciting events to come. Artlovers, prepare to have your interest piqued!

Every auction season, artworks that would be right at home in a museum make their way through Dorotheum’s publicly accessible exhibition areas. The previews for Dorotheum’s major spring and fall auctions rival the art shows of some of the world’s finest museums and galleries – and they don’t cost a cent to attend.
