1809 - GRIESHABER, HAP (1909–1981) “Verkehrt alles verkehrt” 1980 Color woodcut on heavy paper. Image size approx. 60 x 59 cm (sheet size approx. 69 x 59 cm). Signed “Grieshaber” in pencil lower right; numbered “475/500” lower left. Copy 475 of an edition of 500 prints. Framed. 68 x 65 cm. With the work *Verkehrt alles verkehrt* from his late period (1980), HAP Grieshaber addresses the theme of modern mobility and traffic life in a humorous yet critical manner. As one of the most influential woodcut artists in postwar German art, Grieshaber weaves everyday motifs—a car, a motorcyclist, and two waiting figures—into this composition alongside a circular, decorative border of stylized rose motifs. The ironic title is reflected in the playful juxtaposition of technical dynamism and organic symmetry. Through his minimalist, striking visual language and the effective use of flat red, green, and blue, Grieshaber achieves a visually powerful synthesis of modern social critique and the folk tradition of woodcut art. In good condition, fresh from the press, with vibrant colors. The paper is very slightly browned in the narrow margin area outside the image due to age.
