Developing on an earlier version, in 1926 Max Oppenheimer started working in Vienna on his life’s masterpiece originally called The Concert. It was a painting of the orchestra conducted by Gustav Mahler. He combined both group and individual portraits and atmospherically translated the effects of music into painting. In 1938 Oppenheimer showed the triptych in Zurich. From there he had to flee to New York to escape Nazism. The wood panels followed him by ship in 1939 and thereafter were exhibited in America on many occasions, including at the San Francisco World’s Fair. The artist repeatedly reworked the painting. It was his wish to show The Philharmonic in Vienna. In 1954, this return to Vienna was about to happen, but Oppenheimer died shortly before his departure. The work was bought by the Republic of Austria that same year.
