Ernst Fuchs
Ernst Fuchs Sphinx Mystagoga Surreal Color Etching Vienna Fantastic Realism 1967

1967

About the Item

Ernst Fuchs (Austrian, 1930 - 2015) The Sphinx Mystagogo Sheet Nr. 6 from the Folio “Die Sieben Bilder und Sprüche der Sphinx”, published in Autumn of 1967 by Galerie Sydow in Frankfurt, Germany. • Aquatint Etching • Ed. 79/99 • Sheet ca. 59 x 41.5 cm • Plate signed • Signed & numbered by the artist in pencil Worldwide shipping is complimentary - There are no additional charges for handling & delivery. Ernst Fuchs was an Austrian painter, draftsman, printmaker, sculptor, architect, stage designer, composer, poet, and one of the founders of the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism. I discovered him through H.R. Giger ‘s work, who himself was greatly inspired by the creations of Fuchs and on several occasions exhibited his friend ‘s art in his museum, the Château St-Germain, Gruyères, Switzerland. I actually own the original folio box/casket “Die Sieben Bilder und Sprüche der Sphinx” (“The seven Images and Sayings of the Sphynx”), including the double sided, screen printed canvas covered inlay as well as all seven individually decorated Mounts for the sheets. Unfortunately, when I acquired the object, there were only three of the seven sheets remaining. I have decided to keep one and sell two, rather than to seek out the 4 missing sheets and re-complete the folio. There were only 99 sets issued in 1967 and once the prints had been removed to be framed most of these folio boxes got lost over the years; so quite a rare thing indeed – Anyone interested in acquiring the folio box … talk to me. I am ASGrond - Art & Antiques. Passionate collector, purveyor and artist. Here on 1stdibs I am offering Fine Art that I have collected over the last thirty years. Phantoms of Time - Things of the past - for you to add to your future and so enriching your life’s tapestry. I often choose to leave objects in the state I acquired them, chiefly to retain as much of their originality as possible, but also to leave open all options regarding the object’s future treatment and appearance. Examine the provided photographs and ask questions. I am here to assist you to my best of knowledge. Although I do of course accept returns, costs are incurred on both sides – so be sure you are confident regarding condition before purchase of any item. I deliver worldwide for free – so no extra costs on top of the sale price. I do however decline to accept responsibility for any declaration made to the customs authority concerning import and export.
