Acrylic on canvas.
Geiger 497. Verso of stretcher signed. 180 x 130 cm (70.8 x 51.1 in).

PROVENANCE: Collection Thomas and Maria Lenk, Schloß Tierberg.



His first abstract work was exhibited in 1948 at the "Salon des Réalités Nouvelles" in Paris. One year later Geiger joined up with Baumeister, Matschinsky-Denninghoff and Winter and founded the group "ZEN 49". Geiger discovered his true style during the 1950s. He integrated the futurist style of the Sixties, which was influenced by space research, into his abstract and colorful compositions. He repeatedly showed works at the documenta in Kassel between 1959 and 1977.
