Framed with handwritten label by the artist and Grace Borgenicht label Hand-signed by artist, hand signed front; bears the artist's handwritten label as well as label from Grace Borgenicht verso and a sticker from original collector Frame included: original vintage frame This work was acquired from the Brattleboro Museum in Vermont, which sold it to raise funds for their ongoing programming. As its title notes, it depicts the "Brattleboro Seen as a Flugstadt (European River Town)" - which has important autobiographical images. Wolf Kahn was born in Germany but he and his wife spent summers in Brattleboro Vermont where he and his wife owned property and were active in the community and the arts - becoming major supporters of the renowned Brattleboro Museum. Brattleboro is a picturesque city in Vermont which is known for its stunning river flowing through it. This work was originally sold by the Grace Borgenicht Gallery, Wolf Kahn's gallery of record for many decades. It is held in the original frame with the desirable Borgenicht Gallery label on the verso, as well as the handwritten (ink) label done by Wolf Kahn himself, and the personal label of a subsequent owner.

  • Secret Meadow (signed twice with inscription to art critic) letter of provenance
    By Wolf Kahn
    Located in New York, NY
    Wolf Kahn Secret Meadow (signed twice with unique personal inscription to renowned art critic, with letter of provenance), 1974 Pastel on Paper - signed twice and hand inscribed, accompanied by letter of provenance Signed lower left front, titled lower middle, and inscribed, dated and signed again on the lower middle and right front Frame Included: elegantly matted and framed in a blond wood museum quality frame with UV plexiglass This poignant yellow pastel landscape is by the renowned painter Wolf Kahn, whose work is famously characterized by abstraction and figuration, as his gorgeously colored landscapes transform into color fields. This particular work is special because it came from the private collection of distinguished art critic and artist Lawrence (Larry) Campbell, who received it as a gift from Wolf Kahn in 1974. It is accompanied by a hand signed and dated Letter of Provenance from Mr. Campbell's daughter which reads, "This painting has been in my home since 1974 when it was given to my father, the late Lawrence (Larry) Campbell, by the artist, Wolf Kahn. In the lower right hand corner of the painting, Mr. Kahn wrote in pencil, 'To Larry in friendship- Wolf 1974.' My father was also a painter, a Director at the Arts Students League of New York, Professor of Art at Pratt Institute & Brooklyn College and an Art Critic for Art News and Art in America Magazines, for over 50 years." The work is also hand signed by the artist, lower left, so it bears two signatures. (For security purposes, the letter is not reproduced here, but the buyer of this work will receive the original hand signed letter...
