拍品专文

Lili von Braunbehrens (1894-1982) was the daughter of Beckmann's landlord in Frankfurt at the time. The artist was impressed by the young, sight-impaired writer's work and persuaded his friend Reinhard Piper to publish a selection of twenty of her poems, inspired by evening walks in the city, together with his illustrations.
The deluxe suite and book were published separately, each in an edition of one hundred; there was also a standard book edition of five hundred copies. It is extremely rare for the suite and book to be offered together, as in the present lot.
