“For the Berlin notions store, Gipkens plunges an embroidery needle into the heart of a fabric holder, threading a final touch to the richly-hued floral pattern, at the same time sewing-up a sumptuously composed design. Heavily influenced by the work of Lucian Bernhard, Gipkens was a successful graphic designer in Berlin during the first half of the 20th century.” (Rennert)
