UK based
Mullock's Specialist Auctioneers &
Valuers in Church Stretton (Shropshire) organized in
2009-2019 at least 14 auctions, on which works
allegedly made by Hitler (watercolors, oil paintings,
pastel and sketches) were sold.
The most bizarre fake at this auction: lot
390, a watercolor allegedly made by Hitler in 1929.
None of these 'Hitler's' are authentic, as they don't fit the general description of Hitler's watercolors from 1910-1913, as established by the Viennese police in 1936. None of these works resemble in anything the authentic Hitler works registered by the NSDAP Hauptarchiv in 1936-1940. Furthermore, the wide variety of styles of the works sold by Mullock's is a clear indication that these works were made by many different artists. On April 15, 2010, Mullock’s offered 21 works attributed to Hitler. These were 7 watercolors, 2 pastels, 1 oil painting, 11 sketches. Supposedly some of these sketches were the sketches Hitler made for his entry exams for art school, 1907. Needless to say: these were forgeries too. Hitler lacked both the talent and the skill to produce sketches like these.
