Barmbek. 1932.
Metalprint.
Helliesen/Sørensen 449 . Signed, dated, titled and inscribed "Selbstdruck" as well as dedicated. One of at least 8 known copies. On firm copper plate printing paper. 45 x 59.6 cm (17.7 x 23.4 in). Sheet: 50 x 64,8 cm (19,2 x 25,5 in).

Other copies are at, among others, the Graphische Sammlung der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The printing plates are part of the Graphische Sammlung der Hamburger Kunsthalle. [JS].

• Very rare, to date only two othe copies have been offered on the international auction market (source: artprice.com).
• Today four of the eight known proofs are museum-owned.
