• The "Merz drawings" are among the artist's most sought-after works on the international auction market.
• In the combination of Dadaism and Constructivism, the Merz collages mark an important phase in Schwitters' work.
• An example that stands out from the series of Merz drawings due to the choice of dynamic, figurative depiction and the integration of fabrics.
