Lot Details

Etching. Signed and dated, titled in lower left. One of to date 31 known copies. On laid paper (with truncated watermark). 24.6 x 19.8 cm. Sheet: 35,8 x 28,9 cm.
The paper suggests that this presumably is one of the copies from the unnumbered edition for I. B. Neumann, Berlin. [AR].
- A particularly impressive print by Erich Heckel. - Characterized by great clarity and an almost meditative effect. - The interplay of perspective, reflections and reduction of form create an incredibly balanced effect. - The painting "Parksee" was created in the same year; it shows the same motif in color. - Further copies can be found in important museum collections like the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, the Museum Folkwang in Essen and the Brücke-Museum in Berlin.
We are grateful to Mrs Renate Ebner and Mr Hans Geissler, Hemmenhofen on Lake Constance, for the kind support in cataloging this lot.
