(lot 44 Estimate: € 8,000 / $ 9,280 ) a collection of 33 Comicstrips published in the Chicago Tribune, 1906-1907. As described: Feininger’s famous comic strips, a magnificent inventiveness in drawing, combining Art Nouveau, caricature and later Bauhaus aesthetics. Milestones in early comic history. Collection of 33 large-format original sheets from the Chicago Tribune, very rare. From the artist’s family. Sheet size ca. 60 : 45 cm. The collection documents Feininger’s brief but influential phase as a comic strip artist in the United States. Between April 1906 and the spring of 1907, the Chicago Tribune published two series that are now legendary as milestones in early comic history: The Kin-der-Kids—the adventurous journey of a gang of children across the oceans in a bathtub—and Wee Willie Winkie’s World, a poetic, surrealistic miniature world seen through the eyes of children.
