Provenance
(Galerie Kahnweiler, Paris).{1} (Galerie Flechtheim, Berlin).{2}Hermann C. Goldsmith, Paris;{3}(Lilienfeld Galleries, New York); Henry R. Hope[1905-1989], Bloomington, Indiana; given to John Herron Art Institute, now Indianapolis Museum of Art, by Mr. and Mrs. Hope in 1947 in memory of her father, William Ray Adams (47.57). {1}A Galerie Kahnweiler label is present on the stretcher with the stock number 1385. According to Malcolm Gee, Dealers, Critics, and Collectors of Modern Painting: Aspects of the Parisian art Market Between 1910 and 1930, Garland, New York and London 1981, appendix p. 18, Vlaminck signed a contract with Kahnweiler in July 1913 giving him the right to sell his entire production for 2 years. It has not yet been determined if this painting was included in the four French government auctions of Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler’s [1884-1979] stock in the years 1921-1923. {2}According to a letter of 27 March 1947 from Karl Lilienfeld [1885-1966] to IMA. A Lilienfeld gallery label is present on the stretcher. {3} Ibid. Lilienfeld spells the name “Herrman C. Goldsmith” which is surely inaccurate. It is uncertain whether or not the name has been anglicized. No information about a collector of that name has been located.
