lithograph by Alfred Hrdlicka (1928–2009) showcases the artist’s intense, raw expressionist style. Titled Erich für Oskar, the piece was created in 1990 and features a powerful portrait rendered in dynamic, gestural black strokes on a stark white background. Hrdlicka's distinct handling of line and contrast reflects his deep engagement with themes of human struggle, psychology, and social critique. The work is hand-signed and dated by the artist in pencil at the lower right and is numbered. Hrdlicka, who was both a sculptor and graphic artist, remains a significant figure in post-war Austrian art. His work sits in dialogue with that of artists like Georg Baselitz, Arnulf Rainer, Jean Dubuffet, Oskar Kokoschka, Egon Schiele, and Käthe Kollwitz. His intense figuration and socio-political engagement resonate with contemporaries such as Anselm Kiefer, Jörg Immendorff, A.R. Penck, and Otto Dix. The print is executed on sturdy cardboard and measures 84 x 59.4 cm, a large format that heightens the dramatic impact of the composition. Despite the expressive rawness of the subject, the lithograph has been preserved in excellent condition.
