190115840AB1901. Vienna Herzig 1901. 45 : 34 cm. Original photoengraving in an gilt frame designed by Josef Hoffmann especially for Gustav Klimt. Contemporary beautiful photoengraving of Klimt's famous Judith. Published in the book 'Ars Nova' in 1901 shortly after Klimt finished the painting. In perfect condition and in a special frame designed by Josef Hoffmann especially for Gustav Klimt. Judith and the Head of Holofernes also known as Judith I German: Judith und Holofernesis an oil painting by Gustav Klimt painted in 1901. It depicts the biblical figure Judith holding the head of Holofernes after beheading him. The beheading and its aftermath have been commonly portrayed in art since the Renaissance. Judith was the biblical heroine who seduced and then decapitated General Holofernes in order to save her home city of Bethulia from destruction by the Assyrian army. When Klimt addressed the biblical theme of Judith the historical course of art had already codified its main interpretation and preferred representation. Many paintings exist describing the episode in a heroic manner especially expressing Judith's courage and virtuous nature. Judith appears as God's instrument of salvation but the violence of her action cannot be denied and is dramatically shown in Caravaggio's rendering as well as those of Gentileschi and Bigot. Other representations have depicted the subsequent moment when a dazed Judith holds Holofernes' severed head as Moreau and Allori anticipate in their suggestive mythological paintings. Klimt deliberately ignores any narrative reference whatsoever and concentrates his pictorial rendering solely on to Judith so much so that he cuts off Holofernes' head at the right margin. And there is no trace of a bloodied sword as if the heroine would have used a different weapon: an omission that legitimates association with Salome. The moment preceding the killing the seduction of Nebuchadnezzar's general seems to coalesce with the conclusive part of the story. unknown

1922153802Vienna Berlin Leipzig Munich: Rikola Verlag 1922. First edition first printing of this scarce publication printed four years after Klimt's death. It is unlikely more than 1000 copies were printed due to the nature of printing collotypes. Rikola Verlag were advocates of the Vienna Seccession movement; they purchased all of Egon Schiele's original lithographic prints and etching plates in the same year and sold them as a collected portfolio. It is accompanied by a booklet edited by Gustav Glück director of the Gemäldegalerie Vienna 1916-31 who went so far as to say that the Austrian artist's work could only be understood through his drawings. Quarto. 8 pp booklet and 10 loose plates. 10 collotypes of portraits and nudes after drawings by Klimt on white wove paper approx. 23 x 14.9 cm tipped onto grey paper 27 x 20 cm as issued. Edges and corners of grey mount paper chipped not affecting the images otherwise all in very good condition. Lacking the original envelope. unknown
194027131940. Punched twice at the left edge. In fine condition. 1 page typed document. <p><br /> Important document about the Nazi-looted and subsequently privately sold Klimt’s masterpiece the Water Serpents II.<br /> <p><p><br /> Gustav Klimt’s Water Serpents II was painted between 1904 and 1907 and was originally commissioned for and owned by Jenny Eugenie Steiner neé Pulitzer; 1863–1958 the wife and at the time of the issue of the present document already the widow of a wealthy Viennese Jewish industrialist. The painting was apparently an asset of the late husband’s silk company “Brüder Steiner†as it is referred to in the document. In June 1938 after the Anschluss under the threat from the Nazis Jewish herself Jenny Steiner fled from Vienna and the painting together with several of her valuable tangibles including other works by Klimt and Egon Schiele was confiscated as Jewish property.<br /> <p><p><br /> In 1940 three of Steiner’s Klimt paintings including the Water Serpents II were offered on the sale of the leading Viennese auction house Dorotheum 458. Kunstauktion March 4–6.; the two other paintings were the Country House by the Atteree and the Portrait of Mäda Primavesi. Fleckner 2017 However by the intervention of Josef Bürckel then Gauleiter of Vienna the painting was withdrawn from the auction and sold privately to the Nazi filmmaker and alleged illegitimate son of Klimt Gustav Ucicky 1899–1961 through his second wife Inge Ingeborg Davis. The picture remained in Ucicky’s possession until his death in 1961 when his third wife Ursula née Kohn; b. 1922 inherited it. <br /> <p><p><br /> In 2013 Ursula Ucicky in agreement with the heirs of Jenny Steiner sold the Water Serpents II through Sotheby’s sharing the income 50/50. The painting reached the price of $112 million at the time the 6th most expensive painting in the world and the most expensive Klimt painting by then to be sold.<br /> <p><p><br /> The present typewritten and signed secretarial note Aktenvermerk. Betrifft: Ölgemälde des Malers Klimt “Wasserschlangenâ€Â was written on behalf of Hermann Drum 1911–1945 the administrative assistant Adjutant of Josef Bürckel the Gauleiter and later Reichsstatthalter too of Reichsgau Vienna in office as Gauleiter from 30 January 1939 as Reichsstatthalter from April 1 1940 until 2 August 1940 in regard the withdrawing from the auction and the private sale of Klimt’s Water Serpents II. See also in Lillie’s Was einmal war; note that in the book the intervener erroneously ascribed as Reichsstatthalter Baldur von Schirach in fact it was Gauleiter Bürckel. In the text Drum’s secretary summarizes how the painting ended up at the Dorotheum sale with the estimated value of 6000 Reichsmark states the wish of the Gauleiter that the painting should be sold privately to Mrs. Ucicky and delineates a plan developed together with dr. Deigelmaier an official from the local revenue service for withdraw and sell the painting out of the sale if an appropriate purchase offer would be made privately “ich halte einen Preis von 8–9000 RM für angemessen†/ “I think a price of 8–9;000 RM is reasonableâ€. The secretary misspells the name “Ucicki†and also mixes up the family relations claiming Mrs. Ucicky the descendant of Klimt.<br /> <p><p><br /> Rare and important document related to one of the most well-known Nazi-looted pictures. <br /> <p><p><br /> Literature: Fleckner U. et al.

1931182248Vienna: Osterreichischen Staatsdruckerei 1931. One of 30 prints from the Eine Nachlese/Dernière gerbe/An Aftermath portfolio. Max Eisler 1881-1937 the publisher of this print was an art historian at Vienna University who published the first Klimt monograph in 1914. He intended Eine Nachlese to complement Das Werk the only folio set produced in Klimt's lifetime which was overseen by Klimt up to 1913. The collotype produces fine tonal gradations sharp detail and a continuous-tone effect unmatched by most other photomechanical processes. However the surface of the gelatin-coated plate is extremely delicate and can break down under friction or over-inking. Plates wear out quickly giving a short print-run and maintaining consistent humidity during printing is crucial - even small fluctuations can ruin the plate. As a result collotype printing is slow exacting and vulnerable to failure but when successful it yields some of the finest printed images ever produced. Edition of 500.

He intended Eine Nachlese to complement Das Werk the only folio set produced in Klimt's lifetime which was overseen by Klimt up to 1913. Fragile hand-printed collotype plates cannot be reused so the run must be completed on the first go and in only a limited number. The complicated lengthy process involves gelatin colloids mixed with dichromates. Thin 16-colour separation glass filters achieve the light-sensitive internegative images which capture the original tonal gradations. These are exposed to actinic light. Finally the delicate chine colle paper allows for greater colour saturation. Edition of 500.
