Hedwig Jarke (1882-1949)

HeJ

Lärchenbaum & Archive

Her print “Lärchenbaum” (the Larch) was represented in the 1914 BUGRA exhibitions “Das Haus der Frau” in the collections of Ellen von Siemens (this collection was build around). In 1908 it was presented in the Munich Secession. So, what better print to represent this printmaker with in this collection ?

Hedwig Jake is such an iconic and very sought after artist by serious specialist collectors and dealers all over the world it is almost impossible to acquire her work for a “general” collector who is always on a budget. Perseverance payed off in the end.

Dear print lover, passing-by visitor and reader:

While this new gallery-museum site is under construction (being build-up, stocked and arranged) priority must be given to first add all the represented artists in the index with works from the collection and if possible with the examples from the archives.

During construction the site is open to visitors, questions, feedback and suggestions.

Helene Ladstätter (1892 - 1970 Vienna)

Austrian printmaker. Although her identity (family) is still a mystery she is mentioned in an article in “the Studio Magazine” 1924, Vol. 87, page 136-137. Here she is mentioned (and praised) as “Miss H. Ladstätter”. In the article were also mentioned Dr. Emma Bormann (1887-1974) and a print entitled “Dorfstrasse”. She exhibited in 1939 together with printmakers William Giles (1872-1939), Yoshijiro Urushibara (1888-1953), Engelbert Lap (1886-1970) and others at Colnaghi Art Gallery in Bondstreet London. This firm in the 1920-30s had strong connections with the art business in America possibly explaining her prints surfacing in America. She is known by 4 (alpine) woodblock prints sold/auctioned in recent years in America and England.
She was probably a member of the “Verein für Bildende Künstlerinnen Österreichs” (VBKÖ) because in 1970 her obituary is kept in its archives

Exhibited 1947 in the Große Östereichische Kunstausstellung with (a.o.) Valerie Praschniker and Elfriede Miller-Hauenfels.
