Nature morte. 1988.
Material assemblage.
47.5 x 155 x 16 cm (18.7 x 61 x 6.2 in).
The artist mounted various objects on a steel beam, including glasses and test tubes, hooks, metal signs, screws, a pen holder, a light bulb, a fossil (ammonite), an artificial skull, boxes of matches, a funnel, picture frames, and a fragment of a stone. [CH].
• Meckseper transfers the bizarre, enigmatic combinations of mostly industrial objects from his neo-objective still lifes into the third dimension.
• Very rare: one of these fascinating assemblages was last offered on the auction market almost fifteen years ago (source: artprice.com).
• Meckseper's prints and paintings are part of important collections, including the Kunsthalle Bremen, the Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus, Munich, the British Museum, London, and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC.
PROVENANCE: Private collection, North Rhine-Westphalia.
EXHIBITION: Meckseper: aus der Sammlung Großhaus, Städtisches Museum Brunswick, February 24 - April 14, 1991, pp. 138f.
LITERATURE: Friedrich Meckseper, Christiane Vielhaber, Homo ludens. Vollständiges Verzeichnnis der Collagen und Montagen 1987–1989 (3), Krefeld 1989, catalogue raisonné no. 109.
"He wanted to build locomotives, but then art won: Friedrich Meckseper retained the precise eye of the engineer in his paintings and graphic works, but combined it with mystery and magic."
