Charming art stories

VAN HAM impresses with German art at the transition to the 20th century

Unique motifs with a high identification factor are coveted collector's items and a guarantee for outstanding hammer prices. A real recipe for success for a work of art that retains its value is the combination of a well-known painter and an exciting and unique motif with a high recognition factor. These include, above all, the small and large pleasures of life - from sweet and naive depictions of childhood to artistic nude studies and exuberant night scenes. At VAN HAM, the New Masters of Fine Art are characterised in particular by their painterly qualities and their motivic and compositional persuasiveness. Collectors appreciate the exquisite range and trust in the large selection of thematically exciting works on offer at VAN HAM. It is not without reason that the smaller names of the 19th to 20th century German art scene achieve record results. In addition to Hermann Clementz, who sparked a bidding war with his painting ‘Night at the Twelfth Hour’ in the autumn 2024 auction, Hermann Kaulbach, Robert Emil Stübner, Gallus Emil Henschel and many others are among the real ‘must haves’ for 19th century collectors.
