Anna-Eva Bergman: Original Woodcut for "Erker-Treffen" 1974, signed

Between 1972 and 1987, four of the legendary “Erker-Treffen” took place, focusing on encounters between well-known contemporary artists and authors at the host Erker-Galerie in St. Gallen, Switzerland. The artist couple Hans Hartung and Anna-Eva Bergman also took part in two of these meetings with original graphic works: Hartung with two lithographs and Bergman with two woodcuts. The works were each printed on a double sheet, with a work of prose or poetry lithographed in the author's handwriting printed on the opposite page. These “tandem works” were published as limited edition portfolios and are sought-after collector's items today.

Offered here is the original color woodcut by Anna-Eva-Bergman for “Erker-Treffen 2” with a poem by Friedrich Georg Juenger on the left side. The woodcut is numbered by hand on the left below the image and signed by Bergman in pencil on the right. You will receive the complete double sheet with the - unfortunately often cut off - poem. For reasons of authenticity, we recommend that you do not remove the text page, but simply fold it back for framing and hanging. This is because the works are also always shown as double sheets in the artists' catalogs raisonnés.
