Robert Crumb - Original Sketches, Pharmacist and Pianist (1962)
Robert Crumb - Original Sketches, Pharmacist and Pianist (1962). Photographer August Sander's book "Man of the Twentieth Century," was a monumental, lifelong project to document the people of his native Westerwald, near Cologne. He photographed subjects from all walks of life and created a typological catalogue of more than six hundred photographs of the German people. The young Robert Crumb obviously had access to a copy of Sander's book, and this page consists of two drawings copied from the photographs within. Here, Crumb draws a "Pharmacist" and a "Pianist" in his wonderful illustrative style. This page measures 8.5" x 6.5". Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
