## About Otto Rudolf Schatz

Otto Rudolf Schatz (1900–1961) was an Austrian painter and graphic artist who lived and worked in Vienna. Born on January 18, 1900, and dying on April 26, 1961, both in Vienna, Schatz operated within the rich artistic milieu of early- and mid-twentieth-century Austria. He is recognized as both a painter and a graphic artist, working across painting and printmaking media. His documented subjects include landscapes and the nude figure. Schatz is recorded in major reference works including Bénézit's Dictionnaire critique et documentaire des peintres, sculpteurs, dessinateurs et graveurs, Vollmer's Allgemeines Lexikon der bildenden Künstler, and the Allgemeines Künstlerlexikon (Saur). His work is indexed by leading art-history authorities including the Getty Union List of Artist Names, the RKD Netherlands Institute for Art History, and VIAF.

## Common works and media

Schatz produced oil paintings and graphic works including prints and works on paper. Recurring subjects include landscapes and nude compositions. He worked primarily in Vienna across the first half of the twentieth century, and his output spans painting and printmaking. Works may appear at auction as individual paintings, drawings, or graphic editions.

## Market and appraisal context

Otto Rudolf Schatz's work appears in the auction market primarily as paintings, graphic works, and prints. Collectors evaluating Schatz pieces should consider medium (oil paintings generally command higher values than works on paper or prints), subject matter (landscapes and nudes are his best-documented themes), condition, provenance, and date of execution. Because Schatz is listed in Bénézit and the Allgemeines Künstlerlexikon, attribution references are available, but collectors should verify works against published scholarship. Auction results and comparable lots should be consulted for current market positioning.
