Title: Modern Art Gems at Wieck am Darß: A Whitsun Auction Spectacle

Welcome, art enthusiasts! Head to the quaint town of Wieck am Darß this Whitsun for an extraordinary art auction filled with over 110 paintings, each representing different periods spanning the 19th and 20th centuries. Auctioneer extraordinaire, Christopher Walther, promises a grand showcase focusing on artists from the thriving communities of Ahrenshoop, Hiddensee, and Schwaan - shining a spotlight on the dawn of modern painting.

Curious about these artist colonies? They burst onto the scene during the great political and social changes from the end of the 18th century, becoming safe havens where new ideas flowed and artistic revolutions bloomed. These artistic havens launched the era of modern painting, paving the way for contemporary art movements like we know today.

Expect artists like the brilliant Lyonel Feininger, Eckhard Buchholz, and the enigmatic Julie Wolfthorn to make an appearance in this Whitsun auction. Feininger's magnificent piece, "Segelschiffe," even boasts a starting price of 10,000 euros! Additionally, watch for the works of classic artists such as Louis Douzette, Elisabeth von Eicken, and Elisabeth Büchsel.

The auction will take place in the awe-inspiring Darßer Arche from June 3rd to 6th, between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Art seekers can view these masterpieces both framed and unframed before making their bids. So, save the date and get ready to bring home a piece of modern art history!

Now, art neophytes, open your eyes and souls to the realms of Ahrenshoop, Hiddensee, and Schwaan. Ahrenshoop, a charming village nestled within the Western Pomerania Lagoon Area National Park, has dazzled painters with its breathtaking landscapes. Venerated artists such as Otto Heinrich Engel, Paula Modersohn-Becker, and Anna Behle graced this picturesque haven.

Meanwhile, Hiddensee, another captivating island, greatly influenced painters with its unique scenery. Notable artists like Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Oskar Schlemmer, and Lyonel Feininger were inspired by the island's ethereal landscapes.

As for Schwaan, this lesser-known town lies near the artistic hotspots of Rostock and Lübeck, its artistic heritage not as prominently recognized as that of Ahrenshoop and Hiddensee. Still, it offers an exciting artistic landscape with countless opportunities for discovery.
