Johann Berthelsen Original Grand Army Plaza, Plaza Hotel Painting, New York City

  

OFFERED FOR SALE IS ONE (1) ORIGINAL JOHANN BERTHELSEN OIL ON CANVAS, UNLINED DEPICTING A WINTER SCENE WITH FIGURES AND FLAGS IN NEW YORK CITY AT THE GRAND ARMY PLAZA AND THE PLAZA HOTEL, NEAR CENTRAL PARK. THE PAINTING IS IN ORIGINAL, ESTATE CONDITION, AND MEASURES 10 X 14 INCHES. THE PAINTING IS SIGNED LOWER RIGHT: JOHANN BERTHELSEN, IN THE WET PAINT AND IS GUARANTEED ORIGINAL.

IT IS ALSO FRAMED IN A PERIOD. THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF CRACKING TO THE PAINT, CONSISTENT WITH AGE WHICH IS SHOWN IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS AND WITH SOME MINOR CONSERVATION AND/OR RELINING OR LOCAL TREATMENT COULD BE LESSENED OR REMOVED ALTOGETHER. THE PAINTING HAS A LIGHT LAYER OF YELLOWED VARNISH WHICH APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL. THE PAINTING DOESN'T APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN CLEANED BEFORE. BERTHELSEN WAS MOST FAMOUS FOR HIS VIEWS OF NEW YORK CITY IN WINTER, FOLLOWING IN THE TRADITION OF OTHER IMPRESSIONISTS LIKE CHILDE HASSAM AND GUY WIGGINS.

AS THE PRICE OF HASSAM'S NEW YORK PAINTINGS HAS SOARED IN TO THE MILLIONS, WORKS BY GUY WIGGINS AND JOHANN BERTHELSEN HAVE GAINED IN VALUE AND INTEREST IN RECENT YEARS. VIEWS SUCH AS THE GRAND ARMY PLAZA AND THE PLAZA HOTEL, IN WINTER, WITH FIGURES, CARS AND FLAGS ARE THE MOST DESIRABLE.

AS WITH ALL OF THE ITEMS I SELL, EACH WORK IS FULLY GUARANTEED TO BE AN AUTHENTIC, ORIGINAL WORK BY THE ARTIST THAT IS LISTED.
