Owner and founder

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.

Gallery assistance

Marco Tezzele

Marco’s main tasks are advising and assisting customers. He previously gained experience on the art market at the auction house “Im Kinsky”. Marco supports Nikolaus Kolhammer in organizational and administrative matters, assists at art fairs, researches and writes object descriptions and works editorially on the website and catalogs.

In addition to contemporary painting, he is particularly interested in the arts and crafts of the Wiener Werkstatte and the Werkstatte Hagenauer. As a lover of classical music and a regular visitor to exhibitions, he is well informed about the current art and cultural scene. Marco speaks fluent Italian in addition to German and English.

Kunsthandel Nikolaus Kolhammer

Nikolaus Kolhammer has been closely connected with art since his birth due to his family history. Both parents were or are still active as art dealers, and so he grew up surrounded by antiques, paintings and antique clocks.

From 2006 he earned his first spurs in his father’s business, where he completed an art dealer apprenticeship. During this time, the desire for his own art business matured in him and soon after he opened a gallery in Vienna together with his brother Florian, specializing in Viennese Jugendstil, Loetz glass and the design objects by Hagenauer.

In 2021 the next step followed, and Nikolaus Kolhammer fulfilled his dream of running his own business. With his fine art gallery, he specializes in Viennese modernism and and arts and crafts from around 1900, as well as high-quality Austrian art after 1940. His gallery has a focus on exquisite glass objects by Loetz, Jugendstil and works by the Wiener Werkstatte. He has acquired particular expertise in the field of the Werkstatte Hagenauer. The publication of a 180 page catalog devoted exclusively to Hagenauer is certainly a highlight of his work to date. It was published in the spring of 2022 to coincide with the large Franz Hagenauer retrospective exhibition at the Leopold Museum in Vienna, to which Nikolaus Kolhammer was able to contribute some important loans.

Important names of Austrian fine art complete the program of Kunsthandel Nikolaus Kolhammer. The range spans from Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt to the established representatives of Austrian contemporary art, such as Hermann Nitsch, Franz Grabmayr, Jakob Gasteiger or Hubert Scheibl.

Nikolaus Kolhammer exhibits at the most important Austrian art fairs and regularly publishes well-researched and elaborately designed catalogs, which are very well received by his customers in Austria and abroad.
