Description

  • Paul Klee
  • Seiltanzer (K. 95/IV/B)
  • 440 by 268 mm 17 3/8 by 10 1/2 in
Lithograph printed in colors, 1923, a fresh impression, signed in pencil and inscribed with the work number 23138, from the edition of 80 printed on Japan (an additional 220 impressions were printed on laid paper), from the portfolio Kunste der Gegenwart, published by R. Piper & Co., Munich, with full margins, in good condition apart from pale mat stain, framed

Condition

The print is in good condition. The paper tone in the outer margins has been darkened slightly by previous exposure to an acidic mat and there is some light soiling. Small and unobtrusive adhesive stains are visible at the sheet corners and there are a few very faint and very small fox marks in the margins.
