Composition bleue et orange. Um 1963.
Gouache.

• Powerful composition from the best creative period.
• Oscillating colors of particular radiance and depth, due to the multi-layered application of paint.
• Rare composition solely based on the contrast of two hues.
• Of particular tension and dynamics due to the luminous blue forms that seem to converge from above and below.
• Part of a German private collection for almost 40 years.
• In 1962, Poliakoff had his own exhibition space at the Venice Biennale.
• Paintings from this work phase can be found in important international collections, such as the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Tate Modern, London.
PROVENANCE: Galerie Stangl, Munich (with the stamp on the reverse).
Private collection Southern Germany (since 1985, acquired from the above).
"Many people say that there is nothing to see in abstract painting. If it were up to me, I could live three times longer and still not have said everything I see."
Serge Poliakoff, quoted from: Künstler. Kritisches Lexikon der Gegenwartskunst, Issue 31, no. 21, III 1995, p. 2.
