SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Among the works dated to his early years are Fleurs et fruits, from 1905, as well as House and Flowering Cherry Trees, Hamburg, from 1907; Kornfeld also lists a Port de Hambourg, circa 1907, as a watercolour on paper measuring 45.3 × 56.2 cm. The entry for this watercolour notes a pencil signature, “Herbin”, at the lower left.
The works recorded by the Art Institute of Chicago also include a Composition dated 1921 and Laughter, from 1959. These reference points indicate a body of work documented at different dates, without the available entries alone making it possible to specify its stylistic developments here.
This profile brings together identity references for Auguste Herbin and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
34 references are documented at Artcurial Beurret Bailly Widmer, Koller, Kornfeld, Schuler, Ketterer, Germann, Lempertz. Each record links to its source; the amounts are not a general valuation of the artist’s work.
