Provenance:
Collection Georg Prachner, Vienna
Private Collection, Vienna
I see this great artist with his enormous capacity for experience, his almost childlike, naïve impudence of contempt for society and speculation, perishing, ...while “surreally” a piece of the black anarchist flag flutters from his European-tailored costume. Which, moreover, Leherb should fiercely deny, because for him, – and since I know his work, for me too – the colour of potential destruction (and what else is valid?) is his magnificently pure, shimmering blue.
William Tracy Ellis in “Arts Review”, New York, no. 34, 1966 from the afore-mentioned literature
