The Galerie Hofstatter, situated in the heart of Vienna, was established during the early 1950s by Wolfgang Hofstätter, a renowned figure in the realms of art history, art collecting, and art dealing. In 1989, control of the gallery transitioned to his son, Ulrich Hofstätter, marking the third generation of the family's involvement in the fine arts industry. Presently, Ulrich Hofstätter specializes in Haute Époque art, with a particular focus on three-dimensional artworks originating from the Middle Ages to the 18th century.

The collection showcased at Galerie Hofstatter places a strong emphasis on European sculptures and art pieces, encompassing the highest caliber of Haute Époque furniture. Notably, the gallery has served as a source for artworks that have eventually found their place in prominent museums and private collections across the globe.

Furthermore, in addition to regular correspondence with art dealers worldwide, the gallery has fostered robust connections with international art historians and distinguished art restorers. Consequently, collectors frequently turn to Galerie Hofstatter for guidance on various aspects of art transactions, encompassing the buying, selling, and restoration of artworks.

Ulrich Hofstätter extends a range of art-related advisory services, which encompass appraisals, research, collection inventory management, expert restoration, and bidding on behalf of clients during auctions. He expresses interest in acquiring individual art pieces or entire collections, and also accommodates the consignment of artworks.
