When Adolf Wolfli passed away on November 6th, 1930 he was working on what would become his final uncompleted work - Funeral March. He left behind 45 large self-bound books, and 16 exercise books of over 25,000 pages in total which included 1,600 drawings and 1,600 collages as well as approximately 50 Early artworks (from 1904-1907), numerous pieces of, what Walter Morgenthaler called, “Bread Art” but are now more commonly referred to as his single sheet drawings, as well as intricately painted objects such as a screen and wooden closets...
