Wolf Kahn was born in Stuttgart, Germany in 1927. He was the fourth child of Emil (b. November 10, 1896, d. January 25, 1985) and Nellie Budge Kahn. Kahn's father was a notable figure in the music world. He was musician, composer, conductor and teacher. In 1933, Kahn's father lost his appointment with the Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra when Hitler came to power and with increasing antisemitism sweeping Germany, he and his second wife left Germany with Kahn's three siblings for the United States. Wolf was sent to live with his grandmother, Anna Kahn in Frankfurt, Germany at the age of three. He states that he began drawing at the age of 4. In 1937, the summer of his eleventh birthday, his grandmother signed him up for private art lessons with Miss von Joeden. He drew every day and was inspired by military pageantry, Napoleonic Wars and prominent historical figures including Adolph Menzel and Frederick the Great. In 1939, when Kahn was twelve years old, his grandmother arranged for him to leave Germany for England to live with a host family, first with the John Wade family and then with the Purvis Family. As quotas for immigrant applications in the United States changed, Kahn was able to reunite with his family in New York city in 1940 at the age of thirteen.

Wolf Kahn and Emily Mason - Couple at the Centre of the American Art World | Christie's
Husband and wife artists Kahn and Mason’s private art collection reflects and celebrates their relationships with other artists, and represents the ‘relationships, themes and eras’ of the second half of the 20th century.
American artists Wolf Kahn and Emily Mason carved out intensely singular paths with their art — and yet they were never alone.
Mason’s airy studio in Chelsea, New York, featured what she called a ‘wall of friends’: a collection of paintings by artists such as Pablo Picasso and Mary Cassatt, whom she described as ‘friends or those whom I would like to befriend’. Kahn’s Village studio included a vibrant piece by Pierre Bonnard, the French painter whose sun-dappled canvases inspired the artist’s own work, especially in his early years.
The deep-rooted connection the coupl...

Trees with Wolf Kahn, pastels
For this project you will need white card stock or construction paper, chalk pastels, liquid starch (Purex Sta-Flo works well), and oil pastels. Either tape your paper down with masking tape along the edges before starting, or be prepared to flatten your work between heavy flat objects like large books. The liquid starch helps the chalk pastel become like a paste that can be finger-painted, and keeps it from smearing once dry.

The deep-rooted connection the couple felt with other artists they knew or admired is the defining factor of their remarkable collection of modern and contemporary art, to be offered on 18 May in New York.
Featuring works by Georgia O’Keeffe, Richard Diebenkorn and Robert Motherwell, among many others, as well as paintings by Mason and Kahn themselves, the sale showcases a couple ‘at the centre of the American art world in the second half of the 20th century,’ explains Christie’s American Art specialist Paige Kestenman.
