TUESDAY 15 FEBRUARY 2005 MORNING SESSION AT 10.30 AM (LOTS 1-180) Charlotte von Prybram-Gladona (1910-2002) was born on the 21st of March 1910 in Munich. In 1934, aged 24, she married Albin von Prybram-Gladona in Vienna, who was twenty years her elder. He was Austrian, born in 1890 in Zürich as the son of an Austrian diplomat. They had met at dancing class, which he, an art historian and a journalist, attended to keep fit. His family was very well known in Austria and entertained the highest echelons of the cultural elite. Great intellectual figures such as Einstein, Schweitzer, Rilke and Thomas Mann visited the family's homes in Zurich, Meran and Munich on a regular basis. With some, affiliation with the family stretched to a more personal level. Albin, for instance, called Johannes Brahms 'uncle Jo' and Arnold Böcklin, who painted Albin at the age of 2, inscribed his portrait on the back 'painted after nature, easter 1892 - from Grosspapali' (which is a nickname for "grandfather"). It was in this circle, through the introduction of the famous musician Calston, that the couple met the German expressionist Paul Klee. Charlotte travelled with her husband to Italy where he introduced her to the various facets of History of Art. She was particularly interested in old master drawings. Due to the threat of war in 1938 they moved to Paris. They were not safe in the Germany and Austria of the time due to Albin's involvement with Modern Art and his alignment with different Art Societies. Due to their move and as it turned out to be nearly impossible to transport their complete inventory, Charlotte and Albin had to sell most of their furniture. With the proceeds they collected drawings, which they equally loved and took less space. A large number of these drawings are offered towards the end of this sale. They were able to weather the storm of the war which inevitably came to them in Paris. During an unexpectedly long stay of 30 years in Paris, Charlotte attained a masters degree on Casper David Friedrich at the Sorbonne. She worked for different institutes and galleries as researcher and wrote several essays. In 1961 they had bought a holiday home in Salzburg and in 1969 they moved from Paris to Salzburg. The same year Charlotte published her work 'Unbekannte Zeichnungen alter Meister aus Europäischem Privatbesitz'. In the last sentence of her manuscript the author states that she always lived for Nature and Art. Her versatile collection is a testament to this love which she had shared with her husband for forty years. Albin von Prybram-Gladona passed away in 1974, while Charlotte continued to live in Salzburg until her death at the grand old age of 92 in 2002.
