From 1909 to 1910, John Marin was working predominantly in Paris, with the exception of one painting trip that he took to the Austrian mountain range of Tyrol. Entrance to the Tyrol is one of approximately thirty watercolors that Marin completed in Austria before finally returning home to the United States in the summer of that year. Entrance to the Tyrol was originally purchased from John Marin by Alfred Stieglitz, who owned it until his death. According to the Marin family, following Stieglitz's death, his wife, the Modernist painter Georgia O'Keeffe, arranged for the gifting of the Stieglitz Collection to various institutions. At this time, she traded Entrance to the Tyrol for a later example from Marin's oeuvre, so that her gift would be a more comprehensive collection. The present work is housed in an original George Of frame. Of, a Modernist painter, was also a noted frame maker who worked closely with Stieglitz and the 291 group.
