Paul Klee (1879-1940)

Schermafbeelding 2020-04-27 om 10.18.21

“Über Bergeshohen” and “Im Bach’schen Still” are the 2 Paul Klee works that the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag ( Kunstmuseum Den Haag) has in its collection. I remember these works well since I have seen these without their protective glass frame when they were photographed.

These works made a great impression on me and grew my interest in Paul Klee. This was about 35 years ago and since i have bought and sold many Paul Klee publications, but besides the Gemeentemuseum publications there is one which is my absolute favourite….it is the PAUL KLEE 1879-1940 book which was published on the occasion of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum exhibition in New York in 1967. Great cover and a tremendous exhibition which has so many great Paul Klee works in it. Unfortunately the 2 from the Gemeentemuseum, but the rest belongs to the very best by Paul Klee and it is highly unlikely that there will ever be a greater and better Klee exhibition.
