Im Tanz (Tanzendes Weib). 1905.
Woodcut.
Dube H 83. Signed and antedated "06". Monogrammed "H" in the printing block. On firm laid paper. 20 x 11.1 cm (7.8 x 4.3 in). Sheet: 36,8 x 22 cm (14,4 x 8,7 in).
To date only early prints of this woodcut are known. Later Heckel recalled on the print run of the woodcut that "there will hardly be more than 10 copies." (Erich Heckel in a letter to the collector Stump. October 10, 1963, quoted from: Ebner/Gabelmann, Erich Heckel. catalog raisonné, vol. 1 (1903-1913), Munich 2021, cat. no. 64 H).
In September 1907, the woodcut was among the first acquisitions the Hamburg district court director Gustav Schiefler (1857-1935) made directly from the artist for his important collection. Over the following years, Schiefler became the most important collector of Heckel's prints.
• Early woodcut from the founding year of the "Brücke".
• An expression of the "Brücke" artist's intensive examination of the woodcuts by Félix Vallotton (1865-1925) and Viennese Modernism.
• The depicted person presumably is the highly valued model Isabella, who posed nude for Heckel and Bleyl, as well as for Kirchner and a little later for Pechstein.
• In the past 30 years only one other copy was offered on the international auction market (source: artprice.com).
• Five of the six known copies are owned by the Museum Folkwang, Essen, the Sprengel Museum, Hanover, the Brücke-Museum, Berlin, the Ada and Emil Nolde Foundation, Seebüll, and the Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe.
