Tomi Ungerer (1931-2019) - Karussell

Tomi Ungerer (1931-2019) was a prominent French graphic designer, writer, and illustrator. The sheet “Carousel” (page size: 54.5 x 30.7 cm; motif: 36.2 x 28 cm) documents in his artistic idiom and with his tremendous use of color a fine example of Ungerer’s affinity for pop culture in the 1960s. In addition, it unmistakably reflects the artist’s lifelong interest in satirical-erotic depictions.

The Épreuve d’Artiste prints are the first impressions of an edition intended for the artist’s own use and are especially coveted by collectors.
