    Tanning, Dorothea: Untitled (Figurinen)

    Est: €2,600 - €3,500

    Untitled (Figurinen) Aquarell und Pinsel in Schwarz auf Annonay-Skizzenblockpapier. 35,5 x 48,5 cm. Unten rechts mit Bleistift signiert "Dorothea Tanning", verso (von fremder Hand?) bezeichnet "9". Amorph-nebulöse, in ihrem hohen Abstraktionsgrad schwer greifbare Figurenkomposition. Nachdem die junge Künstlerin Tanning 1936 durch die die New Yorker Ausstellung "Fantastic Art, Dada and Surrealism" mit dadaistischen und surrealistischen Werken in Berührung gekommen war, zeigte sie sich davon so immens in ihrer Entwicklung beeinflusst, dass sie mit ihrem bahnbrechenden Selbstportrait "Birthday" (1942) in Peggy Guggenheims Galerie Art of This Century 1943 in der legendären Gemeinschaftsausstellung "Exhibition by 31 Women" vertreten war, zwei Einzelausstellungen schlossen sich an. Später heiratete sie Max Ernst, den damaligen Ehemann Guggenheims. - Provenienz: Privatbesitz Nordrhein-Westfalen - Wir bitten darum, Zustandsberichte zu den Losen zu erfragen, da der Erhaltungszustand nur in Ausnahmefällen im Katalog angegeben ist. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalogue.

The Offset Lithograph is from an unknown edition size. and is not framed. The condition was rated B-: Good Condition, Signs of Handling and Age. Additional details: This is a very rare exhibition poster by Dorothea Tanning for the Galleria Iolas, where she showcased her paintings and sculptures. The poster consists of two pieces of paper taped together at the center, each measuring 34.5" tall by 26.75" wide. The design features abstract body forms beneath a door, with the names Tanning and Galleria Iolas prominently displayed. The body forms evoke a crowd rushing to see the exhibition, only to collapse as the door remains shut—a clever visual metaphor likely alluding to Tanning's popularity. Tanning, a leading figure in the surrealist movement, was also married to fellow surrealist Max Ernst, further highlighting her influence in the avant-garde art world.
