Horst Janssen (1929, Hamburg – 1995, ibid.) Apron with a drawn portrait of Angelo Cook’s apron with the embroidered inscription “Ristorante da Angelo,” beneath which is a drawn portrait of the restaurateur Angelo with the dedication: “My dear angel—you’re a ‘devil.’” The drawing was created spontaneously during a visit by Janssen to his favorite Italian restaurant, “Da Angelo,” in Hamburg-Rissen, which was run by Angelo Convertino from 1983 to 1989, and is part of a collection of other drawings and mementos that the artist gave to his friend at that time. In 2000, Janssen expert Hans Brockstedt verbally confirmed the authenticity of the drawings. Black felt-tip pen on cotton apron. Signed and dated “19 4 88” in the center. Length approx. 92 cm (excluding straps), width approx. 80 cm. Provenance: Angelo Convertino/Restaurant “Da Angelo,” given as a gift by the artist in the 1980s. See “Discovered at the ‘Italian’!
