About Erich Wolfsfeld

Born

1884

Died

1956

Nationality

German

Erich Wolfsfeld (1884–1956) was a German painter and graphic artist whose identity is consistently recorded by Wikidata, VIAF, and Getty ULAN. German-language biographical coverage also describes him as a professor of etching and as a Jewish artist who emigrated from Nazi Germany, placing his career within a German-English context. Collectors may encounter his name on paintings as well as graphic works, particularly etchings. Authority-linked titles recorded through VIAF—including Arab Children, Arab Girl with Sheep, and Arabian Family—indicate an interest in figures and family groups described as Arab subjects. These titles are useful for entity matching but should not be treated as a complete catalogue of his production. Wolfsfeld's presence in international library, museum, and art-authority systems helps distinguish him from similarly named artists. Individual works still require careful identity matching, cataloguing, and object-specific research before conclusions about authorship or market comparability are drawn.

Common works and media

Collectors may encounter paintings, graphic works, and etchings attributed to Erich Wolfsfeld. VIAF's authority cluster associates him with the titles Arab Children, Arab Girl with Sheep, and Arabian Family, suggesting recurring figural subjects described as Arab people and family groups. These references are not a catalogue raisonné and do not establish the medium, date, or authenticity of any particular object. Works offered under his name should be matched to reliable cataloguing and the correct authority identity.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisily associates Wolfsfeld's name with 204 auction records, but this collected source pack does not include lot-level descriptions, realized prices, condition reports, or provenance. An appraisal should begin by confirming that the object relates to the same Erich Wolfsfeld represented by Wikidata, VIAF, and Getty ULAN. Medium and technique are relevant because the sources identify both painting and graphic practice, with etching specifically noted. Subject comparisons may consider authority-linked titles such as Arab Children, Arab Girl with Sheep, and Arabian Family, but title similarity alone cannot establish authorship. Close public auction records should be evaluated at the object level; the available evidence does not support a price trend, forecast, or generalized valuation conclusion.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Paintings
  • Graphic works and etchings

Value drivers

  1. Identity and attribution to the Erich Wolfsfeld represented by established authority records
  2. Medium and technique, particularly the distinction between paintings, graphic works, and etchings
  3. Relationship of the subject and title to authority-linked works such as Arab Children, Arab Girl with Sheep, and Arabian Family
  4. Comparison with public auction records catalogued under the artist's authority-matched name

Appraisal caveats

  • The source pack does not provide lot-level descriptions, condition reports, provenance, realized-price examples, or price-trend evidence.
  • The titles exposed through VIAF help establish subject context but do not form a catalogue raisonné or authenticate an individual object.
  • No major auction-house biography or detailed public auction-house record was successfully collected, so market conclusions should remain object-specific and evidence-led.
