More information

In an enlarged 40 x 30 cm format, this photogram is one of the ten subjects from what is known as the "Giedion portfolio", produced around 1929. The aim was to publish these in a limited edition of twenty, but it remains uncertain whether the complete edition was ever achieved.
The only complete set is now in the Kupferstichkabinett of the Kunstmueum Basel.
