  • The authorship of this photo is uncertain.
    The Getty Museum lists their copy as being by T. Lux Feininger. TLF writes in his letter dated April 28, 1990: "Author uncertain."]

    TLF: "Author uncertain. A metal construction by an unidentified person; the same structure appears on No. 260.189**". [215]

    [**The artist refers to the photo: 'Material study by Walter Tralau from the pre-course by Josef Albers I', which in his letter from April 28, 1990 he clearly declares as: "Not by me". The quality of the prints of both motives is similar.
    The Getty titles the work as: 'Material study in paper...', TLF writes: 'A metal construction...']
