Alfred Kubin
Born : 1877Died : 1959Documented citizenships : Austria
Alfred Kubin (1877–1959) was an Austrian draughtsman, illustrator and writer, born in Leitmeritz, now Litoměřice, in Bohemia. He moved to Munich to study art in 1898 and developed a graphic world shaped by dreams and fantastic visions. His encounter with the etchings of Max Klinger was decisive for his development. His ink drawings combine precise lines, washes and unsettling atmospheres.
In 1906, Kubin settled with his wife Hedwig in Zwickledt, Upper Austria. His only novel, Die andere Seite (The Other Side), appeared in 1909 with his own illustrations. He joined the Neue Künstlervereinigung München in 1909 and participated in the second Blaue Reiter exhibition in 1912. He also produced numerous book illustrations and graphic series. He died in Zwickledt on 20 August 1959.
Auction example: Der Köder II, circa 1901–1902, a pen-and-ink drawing on cadastral paper, realised EUR 28,600 at Dorotheum on 22 May 2024 (lot 7). This figure includes the buyer’s premium and VAT; it is not the hammer price.
