Klien is the best-known representative of Viennese Kineticism, an avant-garde movement of the early 1920s. The work is part of a very important series of works done for a theatre play of Klien herself for a puppet theatre. The works from the 20s are very rare on the market, since most of these works were kept by the Wiener Kunstgewerbeschule, where Klien was studying..
