BURHOFER, Elfie.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

Costume designs for Salomé and Faust. A charming set of art deco costume designs for Faust and Oscar Wilde's Salomé. Each leaf is initialled by the artist in the lower right corner. These designs by the elusive Burhofer were perhaps produced as a practice study during her studies at the Kunstgewebeschule in Offenbach. Both Faust and Salomé were widely performed in Germany, which perhaps inspired Burhofer in her creations, but it is unclear whether these designs were ever realised.
