Lot Details
Lithograph in colors (green), monotype in red and black.
Ebner/Gabelmann 290 L, Dube L 85. Signed, dated and titled. Unique with this motif and these colors. On thin paper. 18.2 x 32.2 cm. Sheet: 24,3 x 36,9 cm.
Only known copy with this motif and colors. The catalogue raisonné by Dube mentions only 2 copie, both with the motif rotated by 180 degrees, meaning with the head in left, and in different colors. One of them is in the Museum Folkwang, Essen. [EH] Please note the condition report.
- Unique with this motif and these colors. - Printed from the green plate and the monotype red and black plate. - Only copy with the figue rotated by 180 degrees. - The female nude was a key motif in the early "Brücke" days.
LITERATURE: Galerie Kornfeld, Bern, auction 224, Moderne Kunst Teil I, June 23, 2000, lot 49.
#DepictingWomen - beauty, goddess, motherhood, bathing, soliciting, fulfilling, fragment, Foundation Ahlers Pro Arte, Herford, September 15 - December 9, 2018, cat. p. 86 and p. 53 (illu.)
Corporate Collection Ahlers AG, Herford (Galerie Kornfeld, 2000)
In a condition consistent with its age. Somewhat more browned in the mount section. The margins partly with small losses and professionally restored tears. The lower right corner of the sheet professionally mended. The upper margin with tears (up to 80 mm) which have been professionally restored and backed. A tear in the center of the upper margin, which extends into the image, also professionally closed and backed in the vertical margin, a further small horizontal paper tear with a tiny loss. A few small brown spots in lower right, probably from the creation. Despite the previously described condition, this unique sheet captivates with its strong colors of red and black applied in a monotype-like manner and the sovereign design with just a few lines. [EH]
