Furthermore, from 1919 to 1923, he was the publisher of the outstanding journal “Die Rote Erde.” Lorenz often collaborated with members of the Hamburg Secession on publications. In addition, he was active as a visual artist himself. In 1923, Karl Lorenz left Hamburg and moved to Malente-Gremsmühlen, where he founded the “Turmpresse” the following year.” (Hamburger Kunsthalle Online Archive). - A very fine copy in a private decorative slipcase.
