About Louise Loeber

Louise Marie Loeber (1894–1983), known professionally as Lou Loeber, was a Dutch painter, printmaker, and graphic artist active across much of the twentieth century. Born on 3 May 1894, she worked in a breadth of media that included oil painting, etching, linocut, glass painting, drawing, and illustration. She married the Dutch artist Dirk Koning (1888–1978) and is sometimes recorded under the name Lou Koning-Loeber. Her monogram, 'LL,' appears on many works. Loeber's output is documented in the RKD (Netherlands Institute for Art History), and her work is held in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. She died on 2 February 1983 in the Gooi region of the Netherlands. With over 200 works recorded in auction databases, Loeber's art continues to appear in the secondary market, particularly in European Old Master, modern print, and works-on-paper sales.

Common works and media

Loeber produced oil and watercolor paintings, etchings, linocuts, graphic works on paper, drawings, glass paintings, and illustrations. In auction and appraisal contexts, collectors are most likely to encounter her prints (particularly etchings and linocuts) and smaller-scale paintings. Works are typically signed 'Lou Loeber' or with the LL monogram.

Market and appraisal context

Louise Loeber's works appear in auction contexts primarily as paintings, prints (etchings and linocuts), drawings, and glass paintings. Collectors evaluating Loeber pieces should consider the specific medium, date, condition, and provenance. Works signed with her 'LL' monogram or the name 'Lou Loeber' are standard; later works may carry the married surname Koning-Loeber. Institutional recognition by MoMA and thorough documentation by the RKD support market credibility. Comparable auction results for Dutch twentieth-century women painters and printmakers provide the most useful pricing benchmarks, though Loeber's auction footprint is narrower than many of her contemporaries, so individual lot history and gallery provenance carry extra weight.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Value drivers

  1. Medium and technique: paintings, etchings, linocuts, and glass paintings each carry distinct market expectations
  2. Attribution and signature: works may be signed 'Lou Loeber' or bear the monogram 'LL'; married name 'Koning-Loeber' may appear on later works
  3. Institutional holdings: MoMA collection presence supports artist credibility and collector confidence
  4. Provenance: works with documented RKD or Dutch-gallery provenance may command stronger results

Appraisal caveats

  • Louise Loeber is not widely cited in major auction-house catalogues; auction records are fewer than for many Dutch contemporaries, so comparable-sale data should be assessed carefully.
  • Multiple name forms (Lou Loeber, Lou Koning-Loeber, Louise Marie Loeber) and the LL monogram can cause attribution confusion; verify signatures and provenance.
