Auszug aus einem E-Mail, 20. Mai 2022:
“Mein Vater ... bekam die kleinformatige Arbeit von Maria Lassnig während der Herstellung des Kataloges “Austria. Biennale di Venezia 1980. Maria Lassnig” ... in der Druckerei Brüder Rosenbaum 1980 geschenkt.
Leider befand Maria Lassnig das Ektachrom ... ihres Gemäldes “Die Last des Fleisches” ... in der Farbwiedergabe nicht zufriedenstellend.
... mein Vater bat sie entsprechend um eine Orientierungshilfe ...
Maria Lassnig fertigte zuhause die vorliegende Gouache ... an.
Nach dem zweiten Probedruck und diversen Farbkorrekturen bekam mein Vater ... die Zustimmung Maria Lassnigs für den Druck sowie die Gouache von “Die Last des Fleisches” als Dankeschön zum Geschenk.
Die Arbeit blieb seither in Familienbesitz.”

“My father [...] received the small-format work by Maria Lassnig during the production of the catalogue Austria. Biennale di Venezia 1980.
Maria Lassnig [...] in the Rosenbaum Brothers printing house in 1980.
Unfortunately, Maria Lassnig found the ectachrome [...] of her painting „Die Last des Fleisches“ [...] was not satisfactory in its colour reproduction [...]. Accordingly, my father asked her for a guide [...] Maria Lassnig made the present gouache at home [...]. After the second test print and various colour corrections, my father [...] received Maria Lassnig’s approval for the print as well as the gouache of„Die Last des Fleisches“ as a thank-you gift. The work has remained in the family ever since.”
