Elevate Your Space with the Raw Energy of Wols' 'Cité' (1945)
Experience the profound depth of post-war European abstraction with this museum-quality reproduction of Wols’ iconic 1945 masterpiece, 'Cité'. As a pioneer of the Art Informel and Tachisme movements, Alfred Otto Wolfgang Schulze (Wols) transformed the canvas into a psychological landscape. This 70x100 cm (28x40 inches) fine art print captures the intricate, labyrinthine detail and spontaneous gestures that define Wols' reaction to the chaos of the post-WWII era.
Authentic Artistry Meets Archival Excellence
At RedKalion, we bridge the gap between historical significance and modern interior sophistication. This print is rendered on 250 gsm (110 lb) natural white paper, chosen specifically for its archival museum-quality and matte, uncoated finish. The 0.29 mm (11.4 mils) thickness ensures the paper remains perfectly flat, providing a tactile richness that mirrors the original ink and watercolor nuances of the 1945 original.
Sophisticated Framing and Sustainable Luxury
The artwork is housed in a premium black wooden frame crafted from responsibly sourced oak and ash. Distinct from standard commercial frames, ours features a substantial 20mm (0.79") profile, offering a bold, architectural presence on your wall. Your investment is protected by shatterproof plexiglass, ensuring the longevity of the piece while maintaining clarity and safety.
- Historical Context: 'Cité' represents Wols' fascination with the organic versus the urban, created during his transition from photography to the raw gestural painting that would influence a generation.
- Premium Hardware: Every print arrives ready-to-hang with a professional hanging kit included.
- Sustainability: We prioritize the environment by using FSC-certified materials or equivalent local certifications.
- RedKalion Guarantee: A curation of world-class art designed to endure as an archival masterpiece in your collection.

What makes the paper quality museum-grade?
We use 250 gsm (110 lb) natural white, uncoated archival paper. This acid-free material prevents yellowing over time, ensuring your Wols print maintains its original contrast and detail for decades.
What are the specifications of the black wooden frame?
Our frames are made from responsibly sourced oak and ash wood. They measure 20mm (0.79") in thickness and width, providing a sturdier, more premium aesthetic than common 14mm frames.
Is the artwork protected from environmental damage?
Yes, each framed print features shatterproof, transparent plexiglass. This provides a durable barrier against dust and impact while offering a clear view of the intricate details of Wols' work.
Will my framed art print arrive ready to hang?
Absolutely. Every order includes a complete hanging kit. The frame is pre-assembled, allowing you to elevate your space with this archival masterpiece immediately upon delivery.

Yes, we are committed to sustainability. We use FSC-certified paper and wood, or equivalent regional certifications, ensuring our art prints are as environmentally responsible as they are beautiful.
What is the significance of Wols' 'Cité' (1945)?
'Cité' is a pivotal work of the Art Informel movement. Created in 1945, it reflects the existential anxiety and spontaneous creativity of the post-war period through its dense, organic textures.
How does this print capture the 'Tachisme' style?
Wols utilized spontaneous brushwork and 'stains' (taches). Our high-resolution printing captures every subtle ink bleed and textured line, preserving the raw, emotional energy of the original technique.
