German WW2 February Militaria Auction
Lot 25:
German Farmer Painting Inventoried at Grosse Deutsche Kunstaustellung 1939, by Franz Xaver Wolfle. This extraordinary piece of history actually has an original inventory tag from the Famous German Art Show in Munich in 1939. The frame also bears the stamp of the Interior Minister of Bavaria, Adolf Wagner. This suggests the painting was property of Wagner, or he purchased it after the show and would make sense that some of his art would have been up for consideration for the exhibition as he was known to help organize the event. There was also a very large portrait painting of Wagner himself on display at the exhibition. Hitler was in charge of selecting specific pieces from this German Art Show inventory that would hang in the actual art show itself. It measures 24.5 inches x 28.5 inches overall.
