Vaduz, Galerie Haas, ca. 1975. Twelve loose-leaved etchings (52.4 x 40.2 cm each). In clamshell box (53.7 x 42.0 x 2.3 cm) with handwritten label mounted on the top board.

A fine example of the work of the widely acclaimed German artist, Rupert Maria Stöckl (1923-1999), who became known as the "Bavarian Dali" although he always remained an innovative and influential artist in his own right. Each plate signed by the artist. This is number 65 of 90 numbered copies. Stöckl's moon ants are “reshapings” of natural history objects following the artist’s own concept of evolution and adaptation which, however, is visually and imaginatively firmly embedded in a long artistic tradition of 16th to 18th century baroque “Kunstkammern”. Stöckl purposely added an ironic classification scheme with absurd comical twists. The etchings are all in perfect condition, showing a varied menagerie of lunar-lunatic creepy-crawlies. A very good copy of this fun and fabulous work.
