Initialed and dated in the plate matrix, lower left. Edition: Unnumbered edition of approximately 100 impressions, published by Editions Cahiers d'Art, Paris. Plate Dimensions: Approx. 11.75 x 7.75 inches (29.8 x 19.7 cm) Sheet State: Excellent, full untrimmed sheet margins intact. Description An exceptional, rare opportunity to acquire a pristine example of Wassily Kandinsky’s quintessential Bauhaus-period graphic work. Executed in 1932, Zweite Radierung für die Editions Cahiers d'Art perfectly embodies the artist’s mastery of non-objective lyrical abstraction, balancing complex layers of geometric sheets, precise cross-hatching, and stark linear forms. Crucially for fine art collectors, this impression features full, completely untrimmed sheet margins—a scarcity in contemporary markets where many sheets from this portfolio were historically cut down. The rich black ink displays a strong, fuzzy "burr" texturing highly characteristic of classic drypoint scratching, accompanied by a beautiful, pronounced, crisp plate mark indentation. The original graphite pencil signature in the lower right remains completely fluid and legible. Condition Report Presented in a well-preserved vintage state. The full, untrimmed paper margins are intact. A minor amber water stain is present at the upper-left outer boundary of the plate line alongside minor, light scattered foxing spots consistent with age. This print has never been down-cut or taped at the margins. Frame included. Pickup at Yonge St and Steeles Avenue
