LUDWIG HOHLWEIN (1874-1949) BAADER BREZELN FREIBURG. 1913.
24x17 inches. Vereinigte Druckerien und Kunstanstalten, Munich.
Condition B+: abrasions and areas of lost ink in image; creases in margins and image; minor foxing. Paper and metal hangers.
Hohlwein arrays six pretzels in a triangular, quasi-heraldic fashion to construct this unusually minimalist poster. A true Sachsplakat (Object Poster) from which the large typography emerges from the dark background. Curiously, a poster-stamp version of the image exists bearing only three pretzels. DFP III 1467, Frenzel 46, Hohlwein 181 (var).
