Franz Barwig the Elder, father of Franz Barwig the Younger, was one of the most important Austrian sculptors during the Art Nouveau period. Barwig attended the School of Applied Arts in Vienna from 1888-1897 under Hermann Klotz. From 1890 he was a freelance artist. In 1904 he taught at the technical school for woodworking in Villach, and in 1908 he worked in the teaching materials office of the Austrian Museum of Art and Industry in Vienna and helped design the jubilee procession for the 60th anniversary of the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph. He became involved with the art of the Vienna Secession and remained essentially faithful to the Secessionist style. From 1909 to 1921 Barwig was professor of sculpture at the Vienna School of Applied Arts. After that he lived as a freelance artist in Vienna and worked, among others, for Keramos Vienna. From 1925 to 1927 he stayed in the USA, where he was commissioned by the architect Josef Maria Urban to carry out the sculptural design of the Mar-a-Lago villa complex in Palm Beach, Florida, now owned by Donald Trump. He had been a member of the Hagenbund since 1906 and of the Vienna Secession since 1925. After his return from America, Barwig could no longer integrate himself into the domestic art scene and died by suicide in 1931. He was buried in the Neustift cemetery. Franz Barwig's students included the carver Jakob Löw, the sculptors Otto Zirnbauer and Max Domenig.

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.
