- Hand-colored copy. - Heckel already found strong inspiration for his works in the world of theater, vaudeville and circus during his Dresden "Brücke" period. - The traditional depiction of the sad clown with averted gaze contains a melancholy that characterizes Heckel's work. - The darkness of the deep black print and the partial coloration underline the magical mood of this circus scene. - Of the 14 other known (but uncolored) copies, at least six are in museum collections. - In the last 30 years, only two (but uncolored) copies of the woodcut have been offered on the international auction market (source: artprice.com).
The work is registered in the Erich Heckel Estate, Hemmenhofen on Lake Constance. We are grateful to Mrs Renate Ebner and Mr Hans Geissler for the kind support in cataloging this lot.
