About Carl Crodel

Carl Crodel (born Carl Fritz David Crodel, 1894–1973) was a German painter, printmaker, and stained glass artist known for his exceptionally broad range of media. Born in Marseille and active primarily in Germany, Crodel worked across oil painting, lithography, fresco, watercolor, engraving, ceramic design, and textile art. He also held academic teaching positions. Crodel was the nephew of painter Paul Eduard Crodel and was married to the painter Elisabeth von Fiebig. He is recorded in major authority files including the Getty Union List of Artist Names, the Library of Congress Name Authority File, and the RKD Netherlands Institute for Art History. Over the course of his career he was also known as Charles Crodel and Karl Crodel, a name-variant pattern that collectors and cataloguers frequently encounter in auction records.

Common works and media

Collectors most frequently encounter Crodel's lithographs, etchings, and other works on paper at auction. Oil paintings, watercolors, and ceramic pieces also appear. His output includes wall and fresco paintings, stained glass designs, and textile works, though these larger or architectural formats are less common in public sale contexts. Prints and multiples make up a substantial share of auction offerings.

Market and appraisal context

Crodel's works appear regularly at auction, with over 400 recorded lots spanning paintings, prints, works on paper, ceramics, and decorative pieces. Collectors should be aware that his work is catalogued under multiple names — Carl Crodel, Charles Crodel, and Karl Crodel — depending on the auction house or database, so a comprehensive search should include all variants. A catalogue of his graphic work (Steckner, 1985) exists and can support authentication of prints. Value is influenced by medium, size, date, condition, provenance, and whether a work is documented in the published catalogue. Stained glass commissions and large-scale frescoes are less common on the secondary market but carry distinct significance.
