About Erich Wegner
Born

Died
1980
Nationality
German
Erich Wegner (1899–1980) was a German painter associated with New Objectivity in Hannover. Public authority records from Wikidata, VIAF, and Getty ULAN align this name with the same twentieth-century artist, helping distinguish him from people with similar names. The collected biographical source describes Wegner as a notable Hannover representative of New Objectivity, but it does not provide enough detail to characterize individual subjects, techniques, or phases of his career. Collectors may encounter his name in auction listings for paintings, where careful identity matching is especially important. A work should not be connected to Wegner solely because of a signature or catalog attribution; available evidence should be checked against the established 1899–1980 identity and documented Hannover context. This profile therefore treats the artist’s identity and movement association as the firmest available facts while leaving unsupported details open.
New ObjectivityPainting
Common works and media
The collected identity sources establish Wegner as a painter, so paintings are the only securely supported work type for this profile. The source pack does not substantiate particular supports, techniques, subjects, print editions, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, or posters. Those classifications should be added only when documented work records or catalogues become available.
Market and appraisal context
Market assessment for a work attributed to Erich Wegner should begin with identity and attribution: the object should correspond to the German painter born in 1899 and deceased in 1980. Relevant comparisons should match the work type and documented context and should be checked by sale date and realized result when those fields are available. The collected pack confirms an Appraisily auction-price page but does not expose lot-level descriptions, condition, provenance, dimensions, techniques, or price results. Accordingly, it does not support a reliable statement about price range, scarcity, demand trend, or the relative value of particular subjects. Those conclusions require examination of the object and suitable comparable sales.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Paintings
Value drivers
- Secure attribution to the Erich Wegner born in 1899 and deceased in 1980 through authority-record identity matching
- Documented relationship to New Objectivity and the Hannover art context
- Comparable public auction listings attributed to Erich Wegner, when sufficiently documented
Appraisal caveats
- The collected source pack does not provide lot-level medium, dimensions, condition, provenance, edition, or realized-price details, so it cannot support an artist-specific price range or market trend.
- The movement and Hannover association are supported only by the collected German Wikipedia page; a museum, scholarly catalogue, or estate source would strengthen that context.
- Authority records identify Wegner as a painter, but the pack does not substantiate particular techniques, supports, subjects, or bodies of work.
