May | 402:1955 | Kurt Feldhäusser acquired a great deal of his collection from Ferdinand Möller and collected works by Kirchner quite heavily. Feldhäusser died in a bombing raid in Nürnberg in January 1945. His mother, Marie Luise Feldhäusser, inherited his collection and subsequently sold much of it through E. Weyhe Gallery in New York [Heuberger, p. 120, note 52, letter to the Museum from Wolfgang Schöddert, Ferdinand-Möller-Stiftung, dated November 20, 2002, SLAM document files].;According to Andrew Robison, Marie Luise Feldhäusser moved to Brooklyn, NY in May 1948 to join her other son Erwin and his family. She brought nearly all of Kurt's collection with her, with the exception of five paintings and three sculptures - which included two wood sculptures of female nudes by Kirchner, one of which is "Standing Nude." She left these few pieces in the care of Fritz Kolb, an artist and friend of Kurt Feldhäusser in Stuttgart, Germany [Robison, Andrew. "Kirchner Collector Kurt Feldhäusser" in "Festschrift für Eberhard W. Kornfeld zum 80. Geburtstag." Bern: Galerie Kornfeld, 2003].;[5] See note [4].;[6] The invoice dated January 11, 1954 from Feigl Gallery to Morton D. May indicates that this work is from the Feldhäusser collection [May Archives, Saint Louis Art Museum, Robison, p. 260]. A letter to Morton D. May from Hugo Feigl of Feigl Gallery refers to some artwork he purchased "from the famous Feldthaeusser [sic] collection, where I bought them directly" [letter dated October 24, 1960, SLAM document files], though he doesn’t mention this work specifically.;[7] Minutes of the Administrative Board of Control of the City Art Museum, December 8, 1955. |

May [8];Notes;[1] According to the catalogue raisonné on Kirchner by Donald Gordon, cat. no. 380, the Kunsthalle Hamburg acquired the painting in 1920 [Gordon, Donald. "Ernst Ludwig Kirchner." Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1968]. The painting appears in a 1923 Kunsthalle Hamburg museum publication [Kunsthalle Hamburg, "Katalog der neueren Meister." Hamburg 1923, cat. no. 2337]. An inventory card (no, 4864) in the Kunsthalle Hamburg indicates the dates that the painting entered and left the collection [copy of inventory card, SLAM document files].;[2] The painting is listed as confiscated from the Kunsthalle Hamburg in the list of Nazi confiscations published in 1962 [Roh, Franz. "Entartete Kunst: Kunstbarbarei im Dritten Reich." Hannover: Fackelträger-Verlag, 1962, p. 189].;[3] Ferdinand Möller was one of four German art dealers who were appointed by Hitler in 1938 to the "Verwertungskommission" (disposal commission) to sell the confiscated "degenerate" art on the international art market. This painting was among those confiscated works, which ended up in the Möller gallery stock. In 1941 Möller sold the painting to the Kirchner collector Kurt Feldhäusser, Berlin [Roters, Eberhard. "Galerie Ferdinand Möller: Die Geschichte einer Galerie für Moderne Kunst in Deutschland 1917-1956." Berlin: Gebr. Mann Verlag, 1984, p. 292].;[4] See note [3].

His mother, Marie Luise Feldhäusser, inherited his collection and subsequently sold much of it through E. Weyhe Gallery in New York [letter from Wolfgang Schöddert, Ferdinand-Möller-Stiftung, dated November 20, 2002, SLAM document files].;According to Andrew Robison, Marie Luise Feldhäusser moved to Brooklyn, NY in May 1948 to join her other son Erwin and his family. She brought nearly all of Kurt's collection with her, hoping to keep it intact, but eventually offered it through E. Weyhe Gallery [Robison, Andrew. "Kirchner Collector Kurt Feldhäusser" in "Festschrift für Eberhard W. Kornfeld zum 80. Geburtstag." Bern: Galerie Kornfeld, 2003].;[5] See note [4]. In May 1949, Weyhe Gallery included this painting (titled "Blick aus dem Fenster") in a list of paintings and sculpture available "from a European collection" [Robison, p. 252-54]. It is unclear whether these works were owned by Mrs. Feldhäusser or Weyhe Gallery at this time.;[6] See note [5].;[7] Bill of sale dated October 4, 1951, and correspondence from E.

"Walter Kaesbach Stiftung, 1922-1937: die Geschichte einer expressionistischen Sammlung in Mönchengladbach." Mönchengladbach: Stadtarchiv und the Städtisches Museum, 1978]. Walter Kaesbach, Professor at the Akademie in Düsseldorf and a Mönchengladbach native, founded the Walter-Kaesbach-Stiftung in 1922. In 1928, Kaesbach donated the foundation's collection to the city of Mönchengladbach, making it part of the Städtisches Kunstmuseum, Mönchengladbach.;[2] This painting is listed as confiscated from Walter-Kaesbach-Stiftung in the list of Nazi confiscations published in 1962 [Roh, Franz. "Entartete Kunst: Kunstbarbarei im Dritten Reich." Hannover: Fackelträger-Verlag, 1962, p. 227]. The dramatic dismantling of the Mönchengladbach collection is described in the Kimpel-Fehlemann publication (see note [1]). The painting is included in the inventory of paintings stored at the Depot Schloss Schönhausen, source: Lists, Holdings in Schönhausen, 1939, Händlerakte Gurlitt, Bundesarchiv, Berlin, R55/21015, Bl. 36, Nr. 333.;[3] Ferdinand Möller was one of four German art dealers who were appointed by Hitler in 1938 to the Verwertungskommission (disposal commission) to sell the confiscated "degenerate" art on the international art market. Möller acquired "Circus Rider" by exchange for Joseph Weidner's "Portrait of Mrs. Waldmüller" [Lists, Inventory of Exhanges, c. 1941, Händlerakte Buchholz, Bundesarchiv, Berlin, R 55/21017, p. 21]. In 1941 Möller sold the painting to the Kirchner collector Kurt Feldhäusser, Berlin [Roters, Eberhard. "Galerie Ferdinand Möller: Die Geschichte einer Galerie für Moderne Kunst in Deutschland 1917-1956." Berlin: Gebr. Mann Verlag, 1984].;[4] Various sources, including the Morton D. May Papers at the Saint Louis Art Museum, the Kirchner catalogue raisonné, and the Eberhad Roters publication (see note [3]), indicate that the painting was acquired by Feldhäusser in 1941 [May Archives, Saint Louis Art Museum, Gordon, Donald E.
