- Characteristic, colorful composition. - By using velvet paper for his pastels, Hölzel achieved a particularly intense and radiant chromatic depth. - The central motif of the Adoration testifies to Hölzel's path towards a maximum of abstract figuration in the early 1930s. - From the Deutsche Bank Collection.
We are grateful to Dr. Alexander Klee, Vienna, for his kind support in cataloging this lot.
