Schiele, Egon. Handzeichnungen. Vienna,<br />
Prague, Leipzig, (Gesellschaft für graphische<br />
Industrie, Vienna for) Strache, 1920. Folio<br />
(584 × 420 mm). 2 leaves with title, content &<br />
colophon and 15 collotype plates, of which 4<br />
are in colour, tipped onto charcoal-gray paper.<br />
Loose as issued in a brown board portfolio<br />
with artist’s name stamped in silver on upper<br />
cover. CHF 8500.–<br />
Number 79 of 500 copies only (from a total of<br />
510). – The ‹Handzeichnungen› was published<br />
two years after Schiele’s death. «The inclusion of<br />
multicolor collotypes increased difficulty of production,<br />
but indicated a desire to fully capture the<br />
beauty of Schiele’s watercolor and gouache paintings.<br />
Monochrome prints of nude models express a<br />
greater concern for compositional experimentation<br />
than for erotic titillation. Yet the portfolio exhibits<br />
the internal contradictions of Schiele’s personality,<br />
most evidently through portraits of his wife Edith<br />
and her sister Adele.» (Claire Cass, Rediscovering<br />
Portfolio Prints by Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele,<br />
Jason Jacques Gallery, New York 2006, p. 58). –<br />
Dampstains and a few small tears on text leaves<br />
only. Portfolio slightly rubbed. A very good copy.<br />
