Also known as
Conrad Felix Müller, Felix Müller, Konrad Felixmüller
Conrad Felixmüller (1897–1977) was a German painter, printmaker, draftsman, and illustrator associated with Expressionism and the New Objectivity (Neue Sachlichkeit). Born in Dresden, he adopted the surname Felixmüller early in his career. Active across painting, watercolor, gouache, drawing, printmaking, illustration, and sculpture, his output spans both the emotionally charged visual language of German Expressionism and the sober realism that followed in the Weimar era. His work is held in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and is documented by the RKD – Netherlands Institute for Art History, the Library of Congress, and VIAF. Felixmüller was the father of architect Titus Felixmüller and brother-in-law of painter Peter August Böckstiegel. He died in Berlin in 1977.

Common works and media
Felixmüller produced woodcuts, etchings, and lithographs in addition to oil paintings, watercolors, gouaches, and drawings. Portraits, figure studies, and social-realist scenes are recurring subjects. His graphic work — especially Expressionist woodcuts with bold contrasts — is well represented in museum collections and appears regularly in the print market. Illustrations for books and portfolios also form part of his documented output. Sculpture is a less common but recorded medium in his oeuvre.
Market and appraisal context
Conrad Felixmüller has a well-established and liquid auction market spanning over two decades, with 360 recorded lots and 197 priced results dating from 2002 through April 2026. His work trades primarily at German and Austrian houses — Schmidt Kunstauktionen Dresden, Grisebach, Dannenberg, Doebele, Kunsthaus Lempertz, Karl & Faber, Dorotheum, and Auktionshaus Stahl — with occasional appearances at Christie's, confirming international recognition. The price distribution is wide: from €50 for small prints to €706,500 at the top end, with a median of €1,375 and an interquartile range of €400–€4,000. Prints and works on paper dominate volume, especially Expressionist woodcuts and portfolios, which trade frequently at regional German houses. Oil paintings and significant early Expressionist works command substantially more. The 29 lots recorded in the most recent 12 months (down from 43 the prior year) suggest a cooling but still active market, consistent with broader softening in the German Expressionist print segment.
