An important group of prints by German Expressionist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner will come up at Sotheby’s sale of Prints and Multiples in London on September 27. The six works, which have a combined total estimate of £406,000-598,000, come to sale from a distinguished European collection. Covering the Dresden period of Die Brücke, Kirchner’s subsequent stay in Berlin, and the years he spent living in Davos in the Swiss Alps, the collection brings together woodcuts, lithographs and an etching from key stages in the artist’s career.
Lucy Rosenburgh, Sotheby’s Prints specialist, said: “Kirchner pushed printmaking to its limits and this stunning group is a superb showcase for his range and virtuosity.”
