About the Item

This exceptional lithograph after Marc Chagall (1887–1985), titled Das Bett des Odysseus (The Bed of Odysseus), originates from the distinguished German edition of Homer’s Die Odyssee (The Odyssey). Published in 1989 by Daco-Verlag Günter Bläse, Stuttgart, and printed by Lichtdruck AG, Zürich, Dielsdorf, the work represents a masterful second edition of Chagall’s original lithographs created for the 1974–75 French edition of L’Odyssée. With its rich hues and poetic imagery, the piece exemplifies Chagall’s ability to merge myth, dream, and human emotion into a timeless visual narrative. Printed on 250 g/m² Bütten Papierwerke Miliani AG, Fabriano paper, measuring 14.88 x 11.69 inches (37.8 x 29.7 cm), Das Bett des Odysseus (The Bed of Odysseus) showcases the artist’s extraordinary sensitivity to color, line, and storytelling. The edition was produced with the authorization of Vava Chagall and remains one of the most elegant adaptations of Chagall’s mythological works. A superb choice for collectors of Marc Chagall prints, modern art, and literary illustration, this piece bridges the worlds of art and literature with sophistication and reverence.

About the artist: Marc Chagall (1887–1985) was a Russian-French modernist painter whose visionary style blended Cubism, Fauvism, and Surrealism with deeply personal symbolism drawn from Jewish folklore, biblical themes, and village life. Born in Vitebsk, Belarus, and later active in Paris, Chagall developed a poetic visual language marked by floating figures, vibrant color, and dreamlike compositions that transcend time and place. His work reflects a synthesis of memory, spirituality, and emotion, positioning him as one of the most expressive and influential artists of the twentieth century. Chagall’s paintings, stained glass, and prints are housed in major institutions including the Museum of Modern Art, the Centre Pompidou, and the Chagall Museum in Nice. Revered for his fusion of imagination and modernist innovation, his art continues to captivate collectors worldwide. The highest auction price for a Chagall artwork is USD 28,453,000, achieved by Les Amoureux (1928) at Sotheby’s New York in 2017.
