Alexej von Jawlensky - Alexei Jawlensky

Алексе́й Гео́ргиевич Явле́нский

Russian

1864–1941

 The Russian-born German artist known as Alexej Von Jawlensky, was a highly regarded and influential Expressionist painter who worked in Germany alongside fellow Russian artist, Vassily Kandsinky. Both members of the influential Der Blaue Reiter artist group in Munich during the immediate years leading up to World War I.

 He was a painter of archetypal portraits created in an increasingly abstract form, eventually reducing the face of his sitter to simple geometric shapes, always made in highly contrasting colours. Spirituality and religious iconography formed an ever increasing part of the oversimplified themes, stemming from the devoted reverence of Russian Orthodoxy.

Influenced heavily by the Fauves and especially Henri Matisse and the Neo-Impressionists,

 Often quite poorly emulated, as you will no doubt have seen, due to the increasing values of his paintings, he is very often faked.

But there may just be works that were either lost, mislaid, or have been with families for eons that have never surfaced and that have not yet been documented. But today, it has to be said, some von Jawlensky works that do appear of the open market are misattributed, either mistakenly or more commonly, deliberately, with the latter application all too frequent.

Fine Art Authentication

  Both the duration and direction of any attribution or authenticity investigation will always vary from project to project, but there are clear and well defined professional formalities, responsibilities and areas of scrutiny that we can assist you with including:

Authentication: Authentification: Conducting and directing comprehensive investigations and in depth research, with a view to establishing a correct, full and formally recognized certification of a work of art. One that is absolutely upheld by the appropriate, legally acknowledged and internationally sanctioned authority, body or expert on that given artist.

Directing detailed and complicated inquiries with multilingual, international academic research and any forensic applications that are required.

 Attribution:  Identifying and confirming the identity of a previously anonymous artist, studio or workshop from which a work of art most likely originated. Including the re-examination and investigation of a previous attribution which may be incorrect, or the scrutiny of an attribution that has been formally questioned or doubted.

 Confirmation:  Undertaking research and investigations into the legitimacy of the provenance, history and prior ownership of a work of art and establishing its own accuracy.

 Scrutiny: Examen minutieux:Identifying fake works of art and forgeries, including any false supportive accompanying documentation and determining works of art which may be studio or later copies, or previous incorrect attributions.

 Prosecution: Poursuite: Investigating alleged art fraud and forgery and assisting and advising those who are , or may be considering litigating or prosecuting the fact. This includes legal professionals and private clients.

 Attention:  Conducting all fine art related due diligence and duty of care inquiries. Including safe prepurchase or sale related audits and assisting clients in consolidating a well balanced future family distribution.

 Appraisal: Évaluation - Valuations, quality and condition reports.

The Pre-Authentication Assessment

    Sensibly, before you begin any art authenticity, legitimacy, or any artist attribution investigation, it is more than wise to have an impartial preliminary assessment of the viability of the project conducted first. Made to independently and rationally balance any negative issues there may be against the positive elements. Treat this study as your safety net.

 We will be happy to professionally undertake this for you, based upon good quality images that you supply and all the known facts regarding its acquisition, the history and provenance of the work of art as is known to you.

You will then have a far better understanding of the prospects and pitfalls that could lie ahead.

ABOUT PAINTING DESCRIPTORS AND TERMINOLOGY

  It is important to understand the auction terms used in any published descriptor and to be cautious of works that may just be painted in the style or manner of the artist, or even the stylized - or would be copies of his works which happen to bear a signature or monogram. In this case Alexej Georgewitsch von Jawlensky.

 Where the name Alexei Jawlensky given with the first name/s and surname of the artist, then in their professional opinion it is the genuine and authentic item, one painted by the artist himself, aka Alexei Jawlensky.

 But if the name Alexei Jawlensky; is described as “Attributed to Alexei Jawlensky, then in their opinion it is 'probably' a work by the artist, at least in part. But there is no guarantee. It's only an opinion.

 When Alexei Jawlensky; “Studio of ….” or “Workshop of Alexei Jawlensky "atelier" is used, this means that in their opinion it is a work executed in the studio of the artist. Possibly by an apprentice or even a pupil under the principal artists supervision.

 But if the term Alexei Jawlensky, “Circle of Alexei Jawlensky” is used, then in their opinion, it is a work of the period of the artist and showing his influence, or closely associated with the artist, BUT not necessarily by his pupil or student.

 When the name Alexei Jawlensky; or Painted in the “Style of ….” or “Follower of Alexei Jawlensky is used, this means that in their opinion it is a work of art executed only in the artist’s 'style', but not necessarily by a pupil. But it may be contemporary, or nearly contemporary of the artist.

 If the phrase in the “Manner of Alexei Jawlensky, is defined….” Then in their opinion it's a work painted in the style of the artist but of a later date and definitely not by the artist himself.

 When the term “After….” Alexei Jawlensky; is used, then in their opinion it is a copy (made at any date) of an authentic and original work by the artist. This also applies to prints made 'after' an original..

 Alexei Jawlensky; “Signed…”, “Dated….” or “Inscribed” Then in their opinion the work has been signed/dated/or inscribed by that specific artist. The addition of a question mark however, indicates a strong element of doubt.

 When the term Alexei Jawlensky is used followed by the words; "With signature ….”, or “With date ….” or “With inscription….” or “Bears signature Alexei Jawlensky /date/inscription” Then in their opinion, the signature / date / or inscription is spurious, forged or has been added by someone else other than the artist.

We can assist and advise you in all fine art related matters.
