Lot 411:
German Farmer Painting Displayed at Grosse Deutsche Kunstaustellung 1939, by Franz Xaver Wolfle. This extraordinary piece of history was actually displayed in the Famous German Art Show in Munich in 1939 and is cataloged as inventory number 1288 in the official exhibition brochure. The back of the frame has the proper exhibition storage tag indicating it was indeed part of the exhibition in 1939. The frame also bears the stamp of the Interior Minister of Bavaria, Adolf Wagner. This suggests the painting was property of Wagner and would make sense that some of his art would have been included in 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. Finding a piece of art thats catalogued and was on display at this famous event is incredibly rare.
