A pair of watercolors signed ``Adolf Hitler' and depicting farm scenes fetched a combined total of ¤32,000 ($42,000) at an auction in Germany on Saturday, an auction house official said. Kathrin Weidler, a manager at the Weidler Auction House in Nuremberg, declined to identify the new owner of the two paintings _ ``Farmstead,' which went for ¤18,000, and ``Farm Buildings on the River,' which sold for ¤14,000.
The minimum bidding price for each painting was ¤3,500. The two watercolours, listed in the catalogue as ``signed and dated 1914,' did not show evidence of a ``good painting style,' Weidler said.
