Undistinguished provenance
November 4 2015
Picture: Sotheby's
There's a still life coming up for sale at Sotheby's in London, as part of the 'Bernheimer Evening Sale', which was once in the collection of (as they say in the war films) 'the Führer himself'. It's a rather indistiguished picture, and the attribution has been as varied as the provenance. But then Hitler was a vegetarian, so perhaps baskets of fruit appealed to him. Details here.
