Ohne Titel (Untitled)
1930

India ink on paper, laid down on card. 22.8 x 16.4 cm. Framed under glass. Monogrammed and dated 'K/30' lower left. - The paper slightly browned, a tiny brownish stain to upper margin.

According to Endicott Barnett, the drawing was originally included in copy 10 of the special edition of Grohmann's monograph on Kandinsky. The drawing lay beneath a sheet of acrylic glass on the reverse cover. A further seven copies of this special edition were also provided with drawings. The monograph was not published in 1930 by Editions Cahiers d'Art, Paris, contrary to the information printed in it, but in January 1931.
