Lot description
Blonde Frau. 1940.
Oil on canvas.
Signed in lower right. Titled and dated on a label on the reverse. 81 x 66 cm (31.8 x 25.9 in).
[AR].

• Otto Gleichmann's portraits of women appear enraptured, staged in dreamlike, dark pictorial spaces.
• Between the world wars, the artist, often described as a loner of Expressionism, had gained initial recognition and joined the "Hanover Secession" in 1918, of which Kurt Schwitters was also a member.
• Under the National Socialists, his works were considered "degenerate" and were confiscated from museums; many of his early works were lost in an air raid in 1943.
• To this day, his works are represented in renowned museum collections such as the Sprengel Museum in Hanover and the Museum Ludwig in Cologne
.

The work will be included in the catalogue raisonné edited by Petra Wenzel, Isernhagen, under inv. no. 186. We are grateful for the kind information.
