Adolf Luther
1912 - 1990
Spiegelobjekt. 1968.
36 concave mirrors mounted on a plexiglass plate in a plexiglass box.
Signed and dated on the reverse. 110 x 110 x 8 cm (43.3 x 43.3 x 3.1 in).
• One of the most important artists of the ZERO movement.
• From color field to light object: While Luther was still experimenting with different painting styles in the early 1950s, he developed his so-called “Light + Matter” works at the end of the 1950s and continuously explored new materials.
• Starting in the early 1960s, mirrors and glass became Luther's most important working materials, with the goal of depicting energy in the form of light.
• Despite the strictly serial arrangement of identical elements, an energetic interplay between space and light, between reflection and mirroring, emerges.
PROVENANCE: Galerie Reckermann, Cologne.
Private collection, southern Germany (acquired from the above in 1970 (with the gallery stamp on the reverse).
In family ownership ever since.
