In the fall of 1936, Carl Hagemann (1867-1940), a retired chemist and the former manager of IG Farben, then living in Frankfurt am Main - a longtime friend of Kirchner and one of the most important collectors of his work - informed Kirchner that several of Kirchner’s paintings had been offered to him.In a letter dated October 31, 1936, Kirchner wrote to him: “The Street Scene must be the one that is exhibited here in Zurich with red and blue, not green. I think these paintings belong to Jewish people that must leave.”Late in 1936 or early in 1937, Hagemann decided to acquire Berlin Street Scene. The sale to Hagemann caused a stir among collectors and museum officials as they realized the Hess collection was under pressure and this afforded them an opportunity to add to their collections. When a list of paintings from the Hess collection made the round amongst German art collectors, Hagemann’s art consultant Ernst Gosebruch wrote to Hagemann,” I thought immediately of the Hess collection in Erfurt where your wonderful Street Scene by Kirchner came from. I called Heckel since a number of his paintings and watercolors are on the list. He indicated immediately that they had to be the remains of the Hess collection. Recently I learned from Schmitt-Rottluff that Mrs. Hess was intent on emigrating [...] at this point in time any collection of modern art which is to be sold quickly is likely to be a Jewish collection whose owner is forced to take up his walking stick.” (English)
