SASCHA WIEDERHOLD 1904-1962

Untitled [Figurine] | Ohne Titel [Figur], circa 1946

Signed Pencil, Chalk and India Ink on Wove Paper

33.2 x 20.4 cm. / 13 x 8 in.

This drawing is signed in black ink with the artist’s monogram in Cyrillic script “C” in the lower right image.
The artist used the Cyrillic script letter “C” to represent that Latin alphabet’s “S” for this forename.

Note: in the 1920’s Wiederhold was a contributing artist at Herwarth Walden’s celebrated ‘Der Sturm Galerie’, in Berlin. The majority of his surviving works are from this era, and there are a very small number of drawing’s, created when Wiederhold was a British Prisoner of War, from 1946. This drawing belongs to that later period. The artist was for many years considered to be one of Walden’s forgotten artists. However, Wiederhold was rediscovered by the Hungarian-Swiss art dealer, Carl Laszlo in 1960 and they met several times before Wiederhold’s death in Berlin. Laszlo revived interest in the beautiful Modernist and strongly graphic drawings of Sascha Wiederhold.

Wiederhold’s works are held in the esteemed collections of Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin, Berlinische Galerie, Berlin and Sprengel Museum, Hannover.

Condition: Very good condition. Tipped to a support sheet in the corners. The sheet is slightly unevenly toned. The right edge lightly bumped.
