  Fine Art  Ex libris of Hermann Süsskind

© Center for Jewish Art, Photographer: Salmon, Naomi, 4.1994

A copy of the exlibris held by the artist’s daughter, Miriam Friedman Morris, has an attached paper on the reverse side of the frame, typed in German by the artist. It says:

“Artist: David Friedman
7545 Lynn Ave.,
St. Louis, Mo, 63130

Diese Exlibris, oder Bücherzeichen radierte ich im auf Kupfer in Auftrage des Bankier Hermann Susskind [!] im Jahre 1920 in Berlin in einer Auflage von 1000 Blatt. Durch ein zufälliges Wiedersehen in Tel Aviv in Israel im Jahre 1950, erhiellt [!] ich das umseitige Blatt zur Erinnerung.”

Translation:

This Ex Libris or bookplate I etched on copper by order of the banker Hermann Süsskind in the year 1920 in Berlin with a print-run of 1,000. Through a chance meeting in Tel Aviv, Israel in 1950, I received this print as a memento

We thank Miriam Friedman Morris for supplying us with this information and with the web links.
