Over the past two months, the Carl Heidenreich Foundation was thrilled to update our catalogue raisonné with previously unrecorded paintings by the German American exile artist from two additional collections – four paintings from the collection of Roni Schwarz and seven paintings belonging to Don F. Jordan. All eleven pieces are from Heidenreich’s years in the United States (1941-65).

In the case of one painting from Don F. Jordan’s collection, the painting shows Jordan’s mother Irene B. Jordan from the years she and her husband Dr. Henry P. Jordan were based in Havana, Cuba. Dr. Henry Jordan was serving first as Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to Cuba (1955 - 1959) and later as Consul General in Amsterdam (1959 - 1963). The portrait was produced during one of Irene’s visits to New York in 1957. The other paintings from Jordan’s collection are from Heidenreich’s series of cityscapes, landscapes, one portrait, and a still life.

Schwartz’ collection features four abstractions from Heidenreich’s New York years, including delicately layered surfaces and an array of vivid palettes that share similarities with the paintings he produced during the late 1950s and 1960s.

The majority of these additions to the catalogue are now available publicly on our catalogue raisonné page. Individual collections can be viewed by filtering by collection name in the upper lefthand corner. As a digital document, the Foundation’s catalogue is constantly open to updates. We invite collectors of Heidenreich’s work to reach us at christopher@carlheidenreichfoundation.org or through any of our board members.
