Desperately Seeking the Following Artwork
I am very interested in finding any pottery signed by Carl Ahrens, whether it has a Roycroft
impression or not. I also recently became aware that Frances Edwin Elwell, Carl's sculpting teacher, did a bust of Carl in 1892. It was exhibited in both Chicago and Montreal in 1893, but appears to have disappeared after that. I would be delighted to find this and see an image of it.
There are specific paintings by Carl Ahrens that received press during his lifetime, and have yet to be located. I have listed titles here. Sometimes he wrote the title on the back of the frame, which may have been changed over the years. Whenever possible I have linked to a discription of the painting in question. The Mercer Collection was a group of 31 paintings. Please click on that link to see a list of all the titles, with links to pages about each individual painting. There are seven paintings listed under the California Missions currently.
