Steinel, Kurt (1929 - 2005). Abra cadabra. Offenbach am Main, Edition Huber & Herpel, 1970. A cloth portfolio of five dark and striking lithographs with conjuring themes, each signed and dated by the artist. Number 42 from an edition of 80. Folio. Fine condition. From the introductory remarks to the portfolio: "...the magician as shown by Kurt Steinel appears in a romantic, idealized light: a simple trick is transformed in our minds into a perfect miracle. Something as barbaric as sawing a lady in half becomes a pleasant still-life picture and the figure of the magician is as ethereal as his art."
