Life


Helmuth Gräff is the child of Rudolf Gräff and Leopoldine Gräff (born Kimmerl) from Vienna-Schwechat, who belongs to the family of former imperial judge Matthias Kimmerl of Kaiserebersdorf (1818–1883). Gräff was married first to Martina Maria Gach, daughter of the architect Richard Gach. His son Matthias Laurenz Gräff works also as an academic painter.

In his youth Helmuth Gräff had been drawing thousands of artworks and kept on practising until the age of 20 where he began to study at the Wiener Kunstschule by Fritz Martinz.[3] Between 1979 and 1983 he studied art at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna of Gustav Hessings and later Friedensreich Hundertwassers masterclass of painting.[4]

Since 1989 is Gräff self-employed as an academic painter, drawer and poet. The themes of his artworks are on the one hand compositions with spiritual and religious contents, and on the other hand works in the nature (Italy, France, Florida, Bali).

Gräff exhibited among others in the Palais Palffy,[5][6] Palais Todesco[7] and Museum of Young Art[8] as well in the Leopold Museum Vienna.[9] His artworks were auctionated at Dorotheum[10] and Auktionshaus Im Kinsky.[11]
