Lot 4261: Keil, Tilo: Umarmung (Embrace)

"Umarmung" (Embrace). 1968. Half-tone print. 40,2 x 29,5 cm. Signed and dated by the photographer in white ink in lower right corner.
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. - Several light thumbnail marks, a few finger marks only visible at an angle in lower portion, otherwise in very good condition.
