Nagel, Stuttgart, auction on October 15, 2008, lot 667 (titled "Vase mit herbstlichen Blättern").
"Despite massive defamation of his work and the subsequent ban, Schmidt-Rottluff [..] continued to work. [..] Especially the still lifes that were made at that time reveal a very intensive, personal 'dialogue' between the artist and his subject. [.] In [..] 'Autumn' [..] Schmidt-Rottluff shows his mastery in simplifying the pictorial language to the most elementary. Individual, isolated pictorial objects on a neutral, sparse, spatially undefined base [..] perhaps stand for the painter's quiet despair, but also for the unshakable will to persevere in times of restriction."
