• Along with Kokoschka and Schiele, Oppenheimer is the most important protagonist of Viennese Expressionism.
• The Leopold Museum in Vienna currently honors the artist with the grand solo exhibition "Max Oppenheimer - Expressionist der ersten Stunde" (Expressionist of the First Hour).
• From 1910 onwards, he made sensitive portraits of Viennese artists and intellectuals.
• Important people were among his sitters: Thomas and Heinrich Mann, Arnold Schönberg, Tilla Durieux, Antonin Dvorak, Sigmund Freud, Heinrich Thannhauser.
• The portraits, exhibited at Thannhauser Munich in 1911, helped him to his breakthrough.
• This is the first time that the portrait of the literary icon from the turn of the century is offered on the auction market (source: artprice.com).
• Other portraits are in the Leopold Museum, Vienna, the Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, and the Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin.
