MAUERBACH PROPERTY The Mauerbach Benefit Sale, conducted on a non-profit basis by Christies's in October 1996 for the Federation of Austrian Jewish Communities, marked an important milestone in the history of Jewish restitution. In a unique auction event thousands of works confiscated by the National Socialists between 1938 and 1945 and whose owners could not be determined, were offered for sale in just under 1000 lots. The sale far exceeded the pre-sale expectations raising $14.6 million (£9 million) to benefit survivors of the Holocaust in and from Austria. The worldwide distribution of these funds is currently underway, organised by the Federation of Jewish Communities in Austria. The following lot, previously stored at the Monastery of Mauerbach has been made available by the Republic of Austria and is now being offered on behalf of the Federation of Jewish Communities in Austria. The proceeds from the sale of this picture will be used to benefit needy Holocaust survivors.
