Hermann Nitsch painiting - €32,000 (£27,825) at Ressler.
The Austrian artist and composer Hermann Nitsch, who died earlier this year at the age of 84, had as many detractors as followers.
His art and dramatic performances which he described as mystery orgy theatre were often the cause of controversy. He often combined religious motifs with ritualised violence, sometimes incorporating animal blood in considerable quantities, managing to offend the sensibilities of the Catholic church, animal rights activists and many more besides.
