Post Lot Text
This work will be included in the upcoming Otto Mueller catalogue raisonné, currently being prepared by Dr. Mario-Andreas von Lüttichau and Dr. Tanja Pirsig-Marshall, under the number G1917/14.
This lot was subject to an ownership claim asserted by an heir to a past owner of the lot. The New York courts denied this claim and ruled in favor of the current owner. Accordingly, title will pass to the successful bidder.
