Posted Sunday, October 13, 2002  A Hitler Painting offered for sale NETHERLANDS art collector Herman Koningen acquired
this oil painting on wood in 1975. He reports
that its size is 10x15 cm and it is signed "A. Hitler" in
the familiar manner of the German leader's earliest works.
He says that has a file of letters concerning its
authenticity including letters from Hermann Weiss, an
archivist of great integrity, whom we often dealt with
before his retirement, at the Institut für
Zeitgeschichte in Munich dated October
1985 and January
1986. Konrad Kujau, the notorious forger, has denied
that the work is by him. This website makes no claims either
way on the painting's authenticity. An enlargement of the
signature detail is below. Offers are invited in excess of
$10,000, please email the collector (below) and keep us
informed.  |
