Park, 1916.
Pen and India ink drawing
Post auction sale: € 6,000 / $ 6,300
Park. 1916.
Pen and India ink drawing.
With the estate stamp of the Kunstmuseum Basel (Lugt 1570 b) and the handwritten registration number “F Be / Aa 14” on the reverse. On yellowish wove paper. 20.3 x 30 cm (7.9 x 11.8 in), nearly the full sheet. [CH].
• With its dynamic, energetic strokes, the drawing is rooted in his creative years in Berlin during the First World War.
• In the winter of 1915/1916, the artist spent a few weeks at the Dr. Kohnstamm sanatorium in Königstein im Taunus and returned in the spring of the same year for a commission to decorate its fountain house.
• Historical photographs of the sanatorium and the small surrounding park suggest that Kirchner created the present drawing during this stay.
• The murals created by Kirchner were irretrievably destroyed around 1937/38.
This work is documented in the Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Archive, Wichtrach/Bern.
