Lot Essay
This theatre programme was issued as a folded insert to the magazine L'Art et la Scène to advertise Henrik Ibsen's play John Gabriel Borkman at the Théâtre de l'Oeuvre in Paris, where it was performed in 1897. Only very few examples of this ephemeral print have survived in good condition.
A year earlier, Munch had designed the programme for Peer Gynt (Woll 82), another of Ibsen's plays, at the same theatre, starring Jane Avril and Alfred Jarry, of which Heinrich Becker also owned an impression.
