Investigating the Authenticity of Works of art believed to be by or Attributed to Ernst Ludwig Kirchner
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938) was a German Expressionist painter and printmaker who we first became interested in many years ago on a trip to the USA . Amongst piles of paintings stacked up in a disused church being used by an art dealer as a storehouse, was a simply framed, rather grotesque looking image bearing an illegible signature at the bottom. The wood block print it turned out to be was in fact by an important German Expressionist artist called Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and titled; 'The Wife of Professor Goldstein' (Frau Professor Goldstein) Goldstein was Kirchner's psychiatrist when he was hospitalized suffering from mental illness during the first World War,. Kirchner was discharged from the army because of a nervous and physical collapse and was committed to Dr. Oskar Kohnstamm’s sanatorium in Königstein near to Frankfurt. Whilst rehabilitating, his doctors encouraged him to continue with his art and create prints of which this was one. It's new home for posterity, is the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
In recent years, an ever growing number of works of art including paintings bearing the name Kirchner have been consigned for sale in auctions around the world and as the values of his works of art consistently climb, there is an greater need for the confirmation of legitimacy. Works of art that do surface will require both a comprehensive and thorough investigation of their backgrounds and provenance and similar scrutiny given to confirm that any previously given attribution is correct. So too that any description itself of a work of art seemingly by Kirchner can truly be relied upon. With such very high values of his paintings prevailing in the art market and the wide demand even for even modest works, then attempts at imitation by forgery and at different levels, from the excellent fakes to the patently foolish, is an obvious but sad consequence. Simple ploys adopted by those intending to deceive, is to add a signature or monogram to an otherwise anonymous work of art, of a similar subject or style that of an artist. Often we see applied forged studio or collector stamps, a new and persuasive inscription, or an added gallery label on the back of a picture and the work itself and need only to be one of a vaguely similar type to that of the artist that is claiming to be by for it to be passed off as legitimate. Bogus provenance and even faked supportive documentation is not unusual. * * * We are international fine art consultants and investigators with bases in the UK and Europe, specialising in conducting full investigations into the authenticity of works of art created by artists in all categories, from all regions and historical eras.
