• Large-format work on paper in which Hans Arp allows central elements of his work, such as curves and empty forms, to correlate.
• In the year of its creation, he made a wall relief for the UNESCO building in Paris that features similar formal elements.
• Significant provenance: formerly Galerie Pierre (Loeb), Paris, where the first Surrealist exhibition with works by, among others, Hans Arp, Paul Klee, Man Ray and Max Ernst took place in 1925.

Good overall impression. The sheet is mounted on canvas. With a horizontal crease running through the center, as well as with smaller creases and tears and isolated small losses. Overall with larger and smaller watermarks that harmoniously blend into the image. The brown tone of the wrapping paper is probably original or intrinsic to the material.
