The titles and dates of works of art provided in quotation marks originate from the artist or are taken from the catalogue raisonné. Undated works have been assigned approximate dates by Grisebach based on stylistic grounds and available literature. The cited titles reflect the historical context of their time of origin and may contain names and terms that do not correspond to Grisebach's values or beliefs.

Dimensions given in the catalogue are measurements taken in centimeters and inches (height by width by depth) from the actual works. For originals, the size given is that of the sheet; for prints, the size refers to the plate or block image. Where that differs from the size of the sheet on which it is printed, the dimensions of the sheet follow in parentheses ( ). Special print marks or printed designations for these works are not noted in the catalogue. Signatures, designations and foundry marks are mentioned. “Bezeichnung” (“inscription”) means an inscription from the artist’s own hand, in contrast to “Beschriftung” (“designation”) which indicates an inscription from the hand of another.

When describing paper, “Bütten paper” denotes machine-made paper manufactured with the texture and finish of “Bütten”. Other designations of paper such as “JW Zanders” or “BFK Rives” refer to respective watermarks. The term “Japan paper” refers to both hand and machine-made Japan paper.

All sale objects may be viewed and examined before the auction; they are sold as is. The condition of the works corresponds to their age. The catalogues list only such defects in condition as impair the overall impression of the art work. For every lot there is a condition report which can be requested.

Only works already framed at the time of consignment will be sold framed.
