Catalogue raisonné, Bd. 1: 1905-1922, Ostfildern-Ruit 2000, WVZ-Nr. 673 (m. Abb.). Schwitters 'Merzzeichnungen', wie Kurt Schwitters seine ab 1919 entstandenen dadaistischen Collagen nennt, gelten gemeinsam mit den 'Merzbildern' als der bedeutendste und bekannteste Werkkomplex des Künstlers. Im Anschluss an den Ersten Weltkrieg befreit Schwitters sich und seine Kunst von jeglicher akademischen und kunsthistorischen Tradition, lässt seine impressionistischen und konstruktivistischen Anfänge hinter sich. 'Merz' war für Schwitters nicht nur die Bezeichnung für den künstlerischen Stil seiner Ein-Mann-Kunstbewegung, sondern vielmehr gleichbedeutend mit künstlerischer Revolution und Neuanfang. In seinen 'Merz'-Arbeiten löst Schwitters die Grenzen zwischen den Kunstgattungen auf, kombiniert verschiedene Materialien, Zeitungsausschnitte, Eintrittskarten und sonstige banale Fundstücke des Alltages, stellt neue, unerschließbare Bezüge her und wird auf diese Weise vom introvertierten Künstler zum experimentellen Bürgerschreck von unerschöpflicher künstlerischer Produktivität. Auch als Dichter, Schriftsteller und Architekt verleiht Schwitters seiner progressiven Produktivität Ausdruck und schafft auf diese Weise ein provokantes und beeindruckendes Gesamtkunstwerk, zu dessen international gefragtesten künstlerischen Produkten die 'Merzzeichnungen' zählen. Die vorliegende frühe Collage 'Mz 122', in der Schwitters verschiedenste typografische Produkte wie Fahrkarten und Zeitungsfragmente scheinbar zufällig zu einem neuen ästhetischen Eindruck verbindet, trägt diesen künstlerischen Aufbruch in komprimiertem Format in sich. Sie ist ein kleines, feines Zeugnis dieses bedeutenden Kapitels der Moderne. Nachdem Kandinsky und die Konstruktivisten zu Beginn der 1910er Jahre den Gegenstand überwunden und die abstrakte Malerei erfunden hatten, geht Schwitters kurz darauf noch einen entscheidenden Schritt weiter. In seinen berühmten 'Merzzeichnungen', Collagen aus typografischen Fundstücken, ist es ihm gelungen, sogar jeglichen Duktus und damit die künstlerische Handschrift aus seinen faszinierenden Schöpfungen zu verbannen.

Accompanied by an academic report by Dr Raffaele D'Amato. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by search certificate number no. 11921-209564.A similar pattern to the current panel can be seen on the cosmatesques of the Grottaferrata Abbey, near Rome, variously dated between the 1160 and 1282 A.D., which can be a good chronological indicator for our mosaic for style and composition. The Cosmatesque style was a characteristic type of ornamentation of Eastern Roman origin (opus alexandrinum) in the technique of opus sectile (elements already cut with the final shape: circles, squares, triangles and lozenges; small geometric elements which, expertly fitted together, manage to create the effect of a magnificent embroidered carpet) used by marble-makers of the 12th and 13th centuries A.D. The practice of inlaying glass and stone tesserae into white marble panels in this way, although reaching its zenith under the directorship of the Cosmati, had already been established in the Eastern Roman Empire for at least five centuries, and by the 12th century many marble pavements and panels of Opus Alexandrinum had been used to decorate prestigious churches and religious foundations, both across Italy and further afield, often by reusing old Roman monuments.

Nr. 45Als Modell stand hier Merwe Scherneck, nach der Gerhard Marcks auch andere Plastiken gearbeitet hat (vgl. Rudloff 742, 743 und 774).Offenbar gefiel Marcks die Figur so gut, dass er sie als "Venus" - als ideales Frauenbild - bezeichnete. Dieses Exemplar wurde extra für den Vorbesitzer gearbeitet. Die vorgesehene Auflage von 6 Exemplaren wurde offenbar nicht ausgegossen.
