Arnold, Karl "Sensational Excavations in Berlin" Pen in black, white overpaint, and pencil on light gray handmade paper. 1923. 37 x 29 cm. Monogrammed “KA” in black pen at the bottom right of the drawing; titled and labeled “615” in pencil along the bottom margin, with a note regarding publication; on the reverse, bearing the red estate stamp, where it is labeled “No. 056” in red pen. Cocaine and cold duck, tobacco and liqueur stand alongside a crown, the imperial eagle, and the hammer and sickle. As if on an ancient Egyptian stone tablet, Arnold arranges his hodgepodge of iconic objects, whimsical figures, and symbols—a panopticon of contemporary history. According to the annotation, published in *Simplicissimus*, Vol. 28, 1923, No. 4, p. 58. Provenance: Private collection, Southern Germany - Please request condition reports for the lots, as the condition is only indicated in the catalog in exceptional cases. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalog.
