Anselm Reyle - Unique (painted & signed) "LITTLE CODY" - 2011

Welcome to certainly one of the highlights this year at Catawiki, with regard to “signed art books”; originating on the one hand from the estate of Karl Geyer! A art collector from Jülich who, over nearly 75 years, assembled around 100,000 drawings, autographs, art books and objects, and who befriended many artists, such as Gerhard Richter, Otto Piene, Janosch, Günther Uecker and many others! On the other hand from my private collection, which I was able to accumulate over many years.

In this auction, therefore, 100 handsigned and partly even hand-painted art and photography books by international artists are being offered, such as from:

- Gerhard Richter
- David Hockney
- Ellsworth Kelly
- Georg Baselitz
- Cornelia Schleime
- Wolfgang Tillmans
- Martin Eder
- Andreas Gursky
- Bridget Riley
- Wolfgang Mattheuer
- Bernhard Heisig
- Thomas Ruff
- Bernard Aubertin
- Anselm Kiefer
- Gunter Sachs
- Richard Long

and many more, with a starting minimum bid of EUR 100.00.

Do not miss this exceptional opportunity to acquire signed books by artists, some of whom are already deceased and possess legendary status!

Here we offer:
