Erich Heckel Estate, Hemmenhofen. Hermann Gerlinger Collection, Würzburg (with the collector"s stamp, Lugt 6032, acquired from the above in 1998).
• A comprehensive and international exhibition history dating back to 1926. • Over the years, the work has been on permanent loan to major German museums, including the Brücke Museum in Berlin and the Moritzburg Kunstmuseum in Halle (Saale). • Intimate depiction of the artist"s partner, Milda Frieda Georgi (1891-1982), who performed as a dancer under the stage name "Siddi Riha" and whom Heckel had married during the war a few years earlier. • Heckel"s work from the mid-1920s onward takes up individual stylistic principles of New Objectivity. • In his Berlin studio/apartment on Emserstrasse 2, the artist created various wall paintings as of 1919, including this frieze with ornamental abstract plants and figures on a light background and a red stripe at the top. • The frieze can also be seen in the paintings "Amaryllis" (Hüneke 1927-23) and "Schlafende" (Hüneke 1932-2) as well as in several watercolors like "Stillleben mit Rosen in scharzem Krug" (1926, Kunsthalle Karlsruhe) . The work is registered in the Erich Heckel Estate, Hemmenhofen on Lake Constance. We are grateful to Mrs Renate Ebner for the kind support in cataloging this lot.
