I'll wager Gotschke. Looking at the color Panzer watercolor, it reads Gotschke to me.

These are absolutely superb! What size are these prints? I wonder if anyone ever reproduced these prints? They would be great framed in a collection room.

hs132,

Outstanding acquisition! These are stellar prints.

Yes, Gotschke is well known for his automobile imagery, not just BMW, but Mercedes, Porsche, Maserati, Bugatti, Fiat....

There is an interesting website devoted to his work:

http://www.gotschke-art.com

Much more info to be found there.

Hello, thanks for all the comments. The mounted prints measure about 8"x6". On a google search I did find a referance to copies or prints sold over the last few years. Origionals of these would be most desirable. Best, Bill
