[As no. 23, the artist mentions this photograph on his list, "Inventory of BAUHAUS-related photographs", which he compiled in preparation for the exhibition of photographs by him at Prakapas Gallery New York in 1980, and he consigned the vintage print to that sale exhibition, entitled "T. LUX FEININGER. Photographs of the Twenties and Thirties". Therefore, it can be assumed that the photograph was taken by him with a self-timer. Therefore, it seems plausible to assume that the photograph was taken by him with a self-timer. However, the artist notes on a copy print of around the year 2000: "flash light photo by ? perhaps Tokayer" (Pos. I.) and admits doubts about his own authorship.]
