Galerie Heinze

The gallery owner, Friedrich Heinze, art lover and buyer, has been able to build up a top-class collection since his youth and later as a manager in international corporations. He founded the gallery in 1983 to provide an adequate framework for parts of the collection. The great success forced the gallery to operate at full capacity, so that the gallery's contours were now specifically designed. 
The range from Gothic to Renaissance, Baroque and modern times was abandoned and the emphasis placed on painting of the classical modern period and the lost generation. 
The figurative painting of Alfons Walde was increasingly offered and, together with the early work of Albert Birkeles, shown especially at the art fairs in the Hofburg and the Residenz. 
The work of Georg Jung was also sponsored and reintroduced in Vienna, just as the southern colour world of the lovable artist Lisl Engels was allowed to shine at art fairs. Dobrowsky, Huber, Merkel, Schatz, Weber, Zülow and many others of equal value complete the gallery program, which from the very beginning has the motto "Art in any case". 
Museums at home and abroad appreciate regular loans for programme or solo exhibitions, such as the recent masterpiece "Akrobat Schulz" by Albert Birkle in the National Gallery of Canada and the Grand Palais in Paris.
