Seiltänzer (23. Jahresblatt). 1953.
Woodcut in colors.
Signed, dated and inscribed "f. 1954 23. Jahresblatt". On firm wove paper. 16.4 x 12.5 cm (6.4 x 4.9 in). Sheet: 22 x 15,8 cm (8,6 x 6,2 in).
Released as 23rd annual sheet in 1954. In 1930, Heckel started the tradition of making a print on the occasion of the turn of the year, mostly small woodcuts with a symbolic message that he gave to friends. Until 1968, some 38 of these "annual sheets" were made. [CH/AR].
• Print in strong contrasting colors.
• Only one copy of the woodcut has been offered on the international auction market in the last 30 years (source: artprice.com).
• The world of vaudeville, theater and circus was one of the main subjects of the "Brücke" artists and had a lasting influence on Heckel's artistic work until his late creative period.
• Another copy of this color woodcut is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
