These paintings demonstrate the artist's acute observation of body language and the small details that
reflect social relationships, particularly in the heady environment of the art fair, with its charged atmosphere of money and
taste, financial and
cultural capital.
Prints created by Austrian, German, and Swiss artists included in this exhibition
reflect the dramatic shifts in
taste in the arts during a time of significant
cultural and political transformation throughout the German - speaking regions of Central Europe during the Romantic period.
