Additional Details

From the Bernard Karpel Collection; by agent to the present owner in 1992.


The flask pictured here is in the permanent collection of Industrial Design at New York's MoMA, and was exhibited in their 1934 Machine Art exhibition, for which this print was presumably made. Bernhard, who produced all photographs for the accompanying catalogue, signed and dated this print in 1996.
