----------------------------Original message---------------------------- The colleague for whom I posted the original query asked me to post an update for her: "Some additional information has come to light regarding the oil painting by the German/Austrian painter Rieger since my previous message on April 30, 1997. The still life is signed 'Rieger 18.' and on the reverse a paper label is attached bearing the text: Saechsischer Kunstverein Dresden with the number 2652. I assume that the no. 18 refers to the year 1918 and the number 2652 refers to an entry in an exhibition catalog." If anyone knows anything about this association or gallery please reply directly to me rather than to the list. Many thanks! Kathy Coyle Winterthur Museum Library Winterthur, DE 19735
