Notes:
[1] Israel Ber Neumann (known as J. B. Neumann after moving to New York) was a German dealer and publisher who originally owned galleries in Berlin and Munich, but became permanently based in New York in 1923. Beckmann signed an exclusive contract with Neumann in 1921, but transferred his work to other dealers in 1927 ["Israel Ber Neumann," Grove Dictionary of Art, accessed July 2005,]. In a letter dated November 16, 2001 to Francesca Consagra at the Saint Louis Art Museum, Allan Frumkin indicates that he acquired the core of his Beckmann collection from I. B. Neumann [SLAM document files]. This impression is included on a Neumann-Frumkin Collection list that was faxed on November 17, 2001 along with the above-mentioned letter.
[2] In 1999, this print was on loan to the Saint Louis Art Museum, loan number 1999.379. In 2002 the Museum acquired it and gave it a new number.
