Provenance
18. century Venetian - without date -1935 Galerie Hugo Helbing[1] - 1935-1938 Edith Amalie Weinberger (10.08.1882-14.8.1951) at Galerie Hugo Helbing stocking [2] - 09.11.1938/13.03.1941-08.05.1944 Galerie an der Wagmüllerstraße, by "Aryanization" of Galerie Hugo Helbing [3] - since 04.02.1942/08.05.1944 BStGS, acquired by Galerie an der Wagmüllerstraße. Jakob Scheidwimmer, formerly Hugo Helbing"[4].
1] In 1935, Hugo Helbing replaced his loan from the Jewish bank Herzog & Mayer with a series of works of art. Minutes of the meeting of 1.10.1951, State Archives Munich (StAM) WB Ia 2973.
2] In 1935, the business partners share the art holdings among themselves. From 30.06.1935 there is a list with the objects which Edith Weinberger took over from the " picture account of the company Herzog & Meyer ". StAM WB ia 2973, sheet 119f.
3] The auction house Hugo Helbing and its art dealer at Wagmüllerstraße 16 were "Aryanized" in 1938. On November 9, 1938, the Hugo Helbing company was forced to close because its sole owner, Kommerzienrat Hugo Helbing, was Jewish. The Reichskunstkammer appointed Max Heiß as trustee, a consultant for art trade issues to the regional director of the Reichskammer für bildende Künste. Since Heiß did not get any auction permission, he sold to Jakob Scheidwimmer on 13.3.1941. The auction house then ran under the name "Galerie and der Wagmüllerstr, owner Jakob Scheidwimmer, vormals Hugo Helbing", cf. Hopp, Meike: Kunsthandel und Nationalsozialismus: Adolf Weinmüller in München und Wien, Böhlau 2012, pp. 74-103.
