Possibly Dr. Benno Hallauer [1880-1943], Berlin, in 1927. [1] (Dr. Schmid-Paganini/Frau Dr. Georg Zapf et. al. sale, Galerie Fischer, Lucerne, 23-26 October 1946, no. 1159, plate 11). Otto Schweizer, Switzerland. [2] (International Financing and Co., Panama City); sold to Samuel H. Kress [1863-1955] on 30 November 1956; gift to El Paso Museum of Art in 1961, no. 1961.1.37 [1] A painting by Artemesia entitled Saint Catherine was lent by "Dr. B. Hallauer" to the exhibition Italienische Malerei des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts: Ausstellung aus Berliner Besitz, Antiquitätenhaus Wertheim, Berlin,1927, no. 67. It is possible it was for sale at that time. Dr. Benno Hallauer and his wife later died at Auschwitz. No further information concerning an art collection of Benno Hallauer has been discovered.
