Director of a Österreichische Kreditanstalt, Vienna. Following von Auspitz bankrupsty in 1932, the Austrian government seized the bank and the personal property of its directors, including the large collection of paintings owned by von Auspitz. Dutch businessman and collector David George van Beuningen purchased von Auspitz’s collection of 2,143 paintings. After selecting what he wanted, van Beuningen consigned the remainder to Bachstitz to sell. Part of the collection was exhibited at Agnews, London in 1931. Within two years Bachstitz had sold 1,200 objects from the collection. |
