Lot 4278: Keil, Tilo: Lila (negative collage)

Keil, Tilo: Lila (negative collage) "Lila" (exposure from negative collage). Circa 1967. Vintage unique ferrotyped gelatin silver print on Agfa paper. 40,2 x 30 cm. Estate stamp on the verso.
Tilo Keil is one of the most interesting rediscovered artists of younger German photo history. His main body of work was produced over a three year period and the quality of his unique oeuvre is still underrated today. This unusual erotic montage image is from a series called "Hautbilder" (Skin Pictures), 18 of which were exhibited in Munich in 1968 at the Avant Art Galerie Casa. Such large prints by Keil are extremely rare. - Slight curling in side edges, otherwise in very good condition.
