A.R. Penck — Berlin Suite
A.R. Penck

Berlin Suite

A.R. Penck's *Berlin Suite* is a bold portfolio of prints characterized by his signature primitivist visual language, featuring schematic figures, symbols, and gestural mark-making that reflect the raw tension of Cold War-era Berlin. Published in a limited edition of 60 by Edition Achenbach, Düsseldorf, each sheet is individually signed and numbered in pencil by the artist, underscoring their collectible significance. The prints are presented loose as issued, housed in a striking red fabric-covered portfolio with an embossed title, making the work as much an art object as a collection of individual images.

Medium
all signed and numbered 1/60 in pencil, published by Edition Achenbach, Düsseldorf, the sheets loose (as issued), contained in the original red fabric-covered portfolio with embossed title.
