Since establishing their gallery in 1980, Giese & Schweiger have stood for excellence and innovation in art dealership. Situated in close proximity to important institutions of cultural life in Vienna, including major museums, the State Opera, and the Musikverein, and is dedicated to providing both museums and private collectors with services of continuously high standards, the gallery has established itself as a reputable authority on Austrian Art from 1800 to 1950. The dedication, commitment, and expertise of founding partners Dr. Herbert Giese and Harald Schweiger is rooted in their profound passion for art. For a few years now, Alexander Giese has also been part of the team. The gallery’s many activities involve regular exhibitions supplemented by comprehensive catalogues, including special exhibitions dedicated to Austrian Masters like Josef Dobrowsky and Georg Merkel. Giese & Schweiger are also regular contributors to art fairs (for instance the Annual Art and Antiques Fair in the Vienna Hofburg and the Residenz in Salzburg or Art Austria 1920–1980 in the Vienna Museumsquartier), giving art lovers and connoisseurs the opportunity to view their extensive collection.

In their capacity as certified art experts, Giese & Schweiger also offer appraisals and valuations of works of art dating from the 19th and 20th centuries.
