Sich entkleidendes Mädchen - Das Modell 1. 1905.
Woodcut.
Gercken 29 I (of II). Dube H 60 I. Monogrammed and inscribed "Holzschnitt". One of two known copies from the original first printing state and one of a total of six copies. On laid paper. 15 x 10.6 cm (5.9 x 4.1 in). Sheet: 18,5 x 22,5 cm (7,2 x 8,8 in).
The location shown in this work presumably is the room on Ostbahnstraße 15 in Dresden, where Kirchner lived as a student in 1905/06 (cf. Georg Reinhardt, 1977/78, mentioned in: Gercken, Werkverzeichnis der Druckgraphik, Bern 2015, cat. no. 29).
• One of only two known copies of the original first printing state.
• Two of the total of six known copies are museum-owned: ons is at the Brücke-Museum, Berlin, and the other at the Buchheim Museum, Bernried.
• Over the past 30 years, only one other copy of this rare woodcut was offered on the auction market (source: artnet.com).
• Art-historically significant year of origin: Kirchner, Heckel, Schmidt-Rottluff and Bleyl founded the artist group "Brücke" in 1905.
• Expression of the "Brücke" artist's fascination and intensive occupation with the woodcuts of Félix Vallotton (1865-1925) and Viennese Modernism.
