Adolf Hitler watercolor paintings - The watercolor painting of the Munich city hall allegedly made by former Nazi dictator, Adolf Hitler, had been recently sold at an auction for a whopping $161,000 dollars. Ironically, prior to the sale of the artwork, the head of the auction house received complaints about selling works of the German tyrant.
In 1905 to 1920, Adolf Hitler was a struggling young artist. Before he had been possessed by the idea of murdering half of Germany, Hitler was more into the artistic venture of watercolor. However, Adolf Hitler watercolor paintings are quite hard to come by that their considered such a rarity.
Yet, the latest of Adolf Hitler watercolor paintings entitled, "Standesamt und Altes Rathaus Muenchen" roughly translating to the Civil Registry Office and Old Town Hall of Munich, was sold at an auction house in Nuremberg. Kathrin Weidler, the head of the auction house, says the buyer of the painting was from the Middle East.
"It's perfectly well done," says Weidler to the Associated Press, "but I'd rate its artistic value as fairly minimal."
After the sale of one of Adolf Hitler's watercolor paintings, Weidler had constantly received inquiries from potential buyers in America and in Asia. Of course, complaints came around as well. Weidler claimed that objections regarding the sale of Adolf Hitler's watercolor paintings should be addressed to the original owners of the paintings, who are reportedly two German sisters in their late 70s.
The said sisters claimed the painting was owned by their grandfather who had bought Hitler's painting in the year 1916. Along with the painting came the original bill of sale, which was dated Sept. 25, 1916. As for where the sale of Adolf Hitler's watercolor paintings would go, 10 percent of it would be given to charity. The said charity helps that of disabled children.
