- Rarity. Rare early "Brücke" document. - In 1910, the "Brücke" artists organized their famous sales exhibition at Galerie Arnold, Dresden, which was subsequently shown in a slightly different form at the Grand Ducal Museum in Weimar. - The show featured works by the Dresden "Brücke" artists Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Erich Heckel, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Max Pechstein and Otto Mueller as well as two paintings by the Swiss artist Cuno Amiet. - The prices listed in the catalog testify to the growing sense of self-assurance of the young "Brücke" artists.
