NOID - Unidentified Artists
Here you’ll find all the prints interesting, promising and/or affordable enough to join this collection. When I really like a work and in a position to acquire it, not knowing a name of the artist is not critical or important. All help, clues, knowledge and suggestions which could lead to “bring home” a lost work of art is very welcomed. Like wise, readers and passers-by are invited to send their identification problem prints.
Three probably more recent but “old school prints”, not in my collection (lost the auction) but the unknown artist is a nice enough puzzle to be solved.
Artist sname: Schütz
Half a dozen prints are known by this artist, of which most are in this collection. He or she was not identified and is represented as Celina). Lehe is a small town near the city of Bremen.
I read G.C. Celina, Colina, Cobian: but all is very unclear.
He or she may have been in a group of artists around Thea Gutmann-Voigt, who is also a still unidentified printmaker.
This large print (“Alpenveilchen”) begonia’s on thin paper was acquired recently (April 2022) and bares no clue, signature or monogram. There were no serious buyers. It could be made by a number of artists, without doubt a professional. My hunch: possibly by a woman printmaker Another copy must bring the solution: a matter of time.
Käthe Lander: unknown artist. The pretty good portrait drawing of a young North African man was found in a flea market and originally was framed in Enschede (NL). Where a Katharina Lander gave birth in 1932 to a still born baby girl. The father: Peter Paul Born (27)
Nothing could be found concerning this couple.
More still unidentified but interesting prints from the collection will be uploaded regularly as the Gallery-Website gradually will be stocked.
This is a one mans endeavour so please be patient and return every now and then.
