Over 900 previously unknown works by the actionist Günter Brus will be auctioned for the first time. On April 9, the drawings will go under the hammer at the Vienna auction house im Kinsky.

The works were created between the end of 1999 and 2004, "each sheet arises from a spontaneous idea, followed by the drawing hand, and a short text sums it all up," according to a press release on Tuesday.

Viewing of Günter Brus Drawings in Vienna

One day, a collection of Günter Brus drawings was shown to the auction house, brought by a lady. She herself was the initiator of these spontaneously created sheets. She does not want to withhold this dedicated, completed collection from the public. According to the auction house, the drawings also address many taboo topics, "with which Günter Brus spares neither himself nor the viewer."

On April 1, an opening will take place at Palais Kinsky, during which Klaus Albrecht Schröder will speak about Brus' "spontaneous drawings." The viewing of the drawings is possible from March 31 (Mon-Fri 10 am-6 pm and Sat 10 am-5 pm).
