Wegner, Erich. Sailboats. Tempera on paper. Sheet dimensions: 32.5 x 47 cm. Mounted under a mat, with a label affixed to the back of the mat reading: “7th Course, Erich Wegner, Sailboats, Tempera.” Erich Wegner (1899–1980) is considered a major representative of New Objectivity. During the Nazi era, he was persecuted and harassed; his works were confiscated as “degenerate” art, and he destroyed many of his paintings himself to avoid arrest. — Firmly mounted under a mat at the corners
