• Singular, two-part composition from his early informal creative period.
• Documenta artist from the very beginning: Winter participated in documenta 1 (1955) in 1955, and also in documenta II (1959) and III (1964).
• Further works from the early 1950s are in possession of, among others, the Städel Museum, Frankfurt / Main, the Kunsthalle Hamburg and the Museum Ludwig, Cologne.
• In the juxtaposition of a light and a dark half connected by lines and shapes, Winter's work is reminiscent of the opposing yet complementary forces of yin and yang from Chinese philosophy.
