Kandinsky, urgent care
 

Colleagues, dear, there's someone on hand catalog Kandinsky?
Please see that stores Improvisation № 8, the same sketch which is sold on Shristie's in November!
I can not find information on the Internet, but not close the catalog!
It is very necessary!!
Thank you very much!!

And it exists at all?

Always believed that there are only 8 Improvisation as irrevelant this: Studie für improvisation 8 .

№ 7 in the Tretyakov Gallery, № 9 shtuttgardskoy Staatsgalerie, and number 8 - that's on this Shristie's, I think.

So I do not know.
Therefore, it would be good to check in any good-quality catalog.
I met the information that such work is kept in a certain Herbert Rothschild Collection, New York, USA.
But what is this collection, and that is Rothschild, I have not yet figured out.
Obviously, if the work is there and it is in private hands.

Perhaps the collection of this fund: The Herbert and Nannette Rothschild Memorial Fund and Accessions Committee Fund .

Yes, the improvisation is just eight, this confirms Christie's, that's just where it is in fact ....

"Improvisation 8" (1909, oil on canvas).
The work is in «Herbert Rothschild Collection, New York, USA».
Kandinsky gave it another name: "A tall man with a sword."

Thanks a lot!
