Viktor Fogarassy (6 May 1911 – 24 March 1989) was an Austrian merchant, managing partner of the Kastner & Öhler department stores, and an art collector, especially of works by Egon Schiele.
[4][5] In 1938, the directors of the department store decided to sell their shares to their "Aryan" sons-in-law to prevent a confiscation by the Nazi regime.
When these were confiscated by communists in 1946, he moved back to Graz,[3] where he became managing partner (Geschäftsführender Gesellschafter) in 1948.
[7] The state of Styria founded a prize for the support of contemporary art (Förderungspreis des Landes Steiermark für Zeitgenössische Bildende Kunst) in his name, the Viktor-Fogarassy-Preis.
[9] In 2018, in an act of private restitution, his family agreed to auction a painting, Schiele's Dämmernde Stadt (City in Twilight or The Small City II), that he had acquired in good faith, sharing the proceeds with the descendants of the former Jewish owner.
