Item Details
Description
MEASUREMENTS:16"WX20"H NO FRAME/MINT CONDITION/"in the style of"Günther Förg was a German painter, graphic designer, sculptor and photographer. His abstract style was influenced by American abstract painting.Between 1973 (Förg's first year as a student at The Academy of Fine Art Munich) and 1976, Förg painted almost exclusively black monochrome canvas pictures in acrylic, which, with the addition of a translucent grey, produced a milky, veiled surface effect. After the death of his artistic colleague, Blinky Palermo, Förg pursued the latter's European legacy of American Minimal Art from 1977. Palermo has been quoted as saying, in reference to Förg, “the art is near as beautiful as the man”. It is unclear whether this was meant as an insult of compliment.His paintings in abstract styles recall Cy Twombly, Ellsworth Kelly and others./Private collection, no documentation.
