Painting Comes Home For Witte Display
The San Antonio Museum Association purchased the Hermann Lungkwitz painting "Crockett Street, San Antonio, 1857" from the Albert Hirschfeld estate. An $8,000 annual gift from the William Randolph Hearst Foundation funded the purchase, with Frank Bennack Jr. enabling the Hearst Grant. The work, depicting East Crockett Street, will feature in the exhibit "Early Texas Furniture and Decorative Arts" opening June 17 at the Wille Museum. Lungkwitz, born in 1813 Germany, lived in Texas and died in 1891, leaving a legacy of San Antonio and Fredericksburg scenes.
