About Erich Buchholz

Born

1891

Died

1972

Nationality

German

Erich Buchholz (1891–1972) was a German painter and printmaker associated with the emergence of non-objective and concrete art in Berlin. His most historically focused phase falls between 1918 and 1924, when he participated in the city’s early experiments with art organized around form rather than represented objects. Public biographical sources describe a long interruption beginning in 1925, first for economic reasons and later under National Socialist restrictions, followed by a return to artistic work in 1945. Collectors may therefore encounter works from distinct phases rather than a continuously documented career. Paintings and prints are the best-supported media in the available source record, while international authority files establish Buchholz as a discrete German artist entity across major cultural databases. His relevance to collectors rests on both that Berlin modernist context and the practical need to distinguish his work from similarly named people. Individual objects still require object-level research into their cataloguing, date, medium, and history.

Common works and media

Collectors are most likely to encounter works catalogued as paintings, prints, or graphic works. The available biography places Buchholz in a non-objective and concrete-art context, particularly in Berlin between 1918 and 1924, while also documenting renewed activity after 1945. The source pack does not establish specific recurring subjects, named series, print editions, or sculpture types with sufficient confidence.

Market and appraisal context

The available evidence supports paintings and prints as the clearest market categories for Erich Buchholz. Date is especially relevant to interpretation because the documented biography distinguishes an early Berlin phase from a return to artistic activity after 1945. A careful appraisal should compare like with like by medium and period, using public sale dates, realized prices, and related lots when dependable records are available. This source pack does not provide lot-level descriptions, condition reports, dimensions, edition information, or results from a named major auction house. It therefore does not support a price forecast, scarcity claim, or market-trend conclusion. Those questions require examination of the specific object and verified comparable sales.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Paintings
  • Prints and graphic works

Value drivers

  1. Work type and medium, including whether an object is a painting or a print
  2. Date and relationship to the documented 1918–1924 Berlin phase or the post-1945 return to artistic activity
  3. Comparable public auction records for works of the same medium and period, including available sale dates and realized prices

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected source pack contains no accessible lot-level descriptions or results from a named major auction house.
  • No price trend, scarcity conclusion, or price forecast can be supported from the collected evidence alone.
  • Object-specific appraisal requires evidence beyond this entity profile.
