Lot Essay

Ralph Jentsch has confirmed the authenticity of this work.
According to Ralph Jentsch, "Bienenschwarm (Swam of Bees) is sometimes colloquial use for the event of a bunch of youngsters occupying a place like a swarm of bees. Grosz must have witnessed during his stay in France in 1927, and this led to the execution of this very drawing."
