Gouache
Starting bid: € 8,000 / $ 8,800
Küstenlandschaft. 1937.
Gouache over chalks.
Signed and dated in the lower right, titled in the lower left. On wove paper (with an nameless watermark). 49.6 x 62.6 cm (19.5 x 24.6 in), the full sheet.
[MH].
• Atmospheric landscape watercolor with strong and light parts.
• The combination of different painting techniques makes for a particularly aesthetic composition.
• Around 1934/35, Heckel still had several solo exhibitions before he increasingly faced repression under the National Socialists, who imposed an exhibition ban on him the year this work was made.
We are grateful to Mrs. Renate Ebner, Estate of Erich Heckel Hemmenhofen, for her kind support in cataloging this lot.
PROVENANCE: Private collection, North Rhine-Westphalia.
Private collection, North Rhine-Westphalia (acquired from the above in 2021).
In good condition. Paper skinned in places on the reverse owing to former mounting, with a few tiny holes (max. 1 mm) in the center of the unpainted area, but not impairing the overall harmonious impression. Slightly browned and light-stained, with very few tiny foxing spots.
