In this episode of The Collectors’ Edge we discuss the work and career of Austrian painter Martha Jungwirth. Join us in this insightful episode to learn how her dynamic and textured paintings have earned her widespread acclaim, relatively late in life. Hosted, as always, by Nordic Art Partners' Jeppe Curth and Nicholas Robinson, we take you on a journey through Jungwirth’s evolution—from her early days in Vienna at the Academy of Applied Arts, the prestigious prize wins as a student that signalled her early promise, to her present day career which includes significant critial and commercial success and full retrospective survey shows at leading international museums.

We investigate the formative influences of the art world of the 1970s and the prevailing trends that formed the contextual backdrop of her early working life. Discover her painting methodologies, her unique approach to exploring colour, her oscillation between abstraction and figuration and why her innovative use of heavy paper and has become a signature element of her work.

As always, we take a closer look at Jungwirth’s standing and reputation and how this is reflected by the global art market of today. It is clear that her works are becoming increasingly coveted by collectors and museums alike but what trends are driving her market, and what might be coming next for this pioneering artist? With her work commanding significant attention at major exhibitions and auctions, we’ll discuss the growing demand for her expressive, textured paintings and why Martha Jungwirth is a name every serious art collector should be watching.
