Nikolaus Kolhammer
For more than 15 years, art & design of the 20th century are Nikolaus great passion. In 2006 his career began in the restoration workshop of his father Alfred Kolhammer. Old materials and the exact reconstruction of techniques of arts and crafts of past eras awakened great enthusiasm in him. He was also particularly fascinated by the glassware of the Johann Loetz-Witwe company, which is still one of his favorite art manufactories. His interests also focus on the Werkstätte Hagenauer, the Wiener Werkstätte and well-established contemporary paintings. Nikolaus is also enthusiastic about overall corporate appearances and strives for a constant development of the art trade and the presentation of extraordinary objects.
