Lot Essay

Ludwig Habich was a prominent member of the Darmstadt Artist's colony. The artists’ colony was founded in 1899 by Ernest Ludwig, Grand Duke of Hesse. His motto was: “My Hesse should flourish, and the art in Hesse too”, and he expected the combination of art and trade to provide economic benefits for his land. The artists’ goal was to be the create development of modern and forward-looking forms of construction and living.
