FERDINAND HODLER (1853–1918) “Blick in die Unendlichkeit” — Original lithograph, 1918
Original lithograph, print from 1918. Handwritten inscription on the left: “Autoren-Exemplar No I”. Signed on the lithographic stone by the artist, and countersigned in pencil in the bottom right-hand corner: “Ferd Hodler”. Dimensions: 53.5 × 29.4 cm.
Artist’s proofs bearing Hodler’s double signature — on the stone and in pencil — are extremely rare on the market. This copy No. I, the first in the series reserved for the artist himself, is the most iconic and sought-after piece in the entire print run. “Blick in die Unendlichkeit” (“Gaze into Infinity”) is one of the most profound works in Hodler’s graphic oeuvre, created in the very year of his death. A central figure of Symbolism and European Jugendstil, Ferdinand Hodler (1853–1918) was the most important Swiss painter of his generation, whose influence extended far beyond Switzerland’s borders. His works are held in the world’s leading museums, from the Kunsthaus in Zurich to the Musée d’Orsay in Paris.
