Hafen. Um 1928-1930.
Watercolor.
Signed in lower right. With the artist's address stamp and the number "Nr. 210" on the reverse. On Ingres laid paper by Van Gelderen (with the watermark). 22.9 x 37.5 cm (9 x 14.7 in).
[KT].
• Presumably made in context of the preparations for the painting "Der Hafen II", 1930, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Nationalgalerie.
PROVENANCE: Private collection (acquired from the artist, ever since family-owned).
"The harbor was bustling and [..] the rare view of the huge, rivet- and acid-eaten hulls from the surface of the water was something strange and fantastic. And one of the strangest impressions for me is the huge hull dipping into the water. A huge wall that draws the long ways through the sea far below the surface and that allows the boat to float, I wouldn't believe it if I didn't know better!"
Letter to Wilhelm Niemeyer after his return from Bremerhaven, dated September 24, 1928, in: Gerhard Wietek: Franz Radziwill–Wilhelm Niemeyer. Dokumente einer Freundschaft, Oldenburg 1990, p. 134.
In good condition. Faint isolated handling marks and two small streaks caused by damp in upper right part.
