Lot Essay

Krull's passion for the industrial architecture of Amsterdam and Rotterdam and, later, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, manifested itself in Métal, which established her reputation as a leading interpretor of Machine-age aesthetics. The Portfolio, complete and in this condition, is considered rare.
