In his "Vermalungen" (Inpaintings), created as editions in various versions between 1971 and 1973, the painting of the entire surface results in "a chaos of endless movements, so that the strips of color drawn across all canvases are inextricably intertwined. The movements seem to have no beginning and no end, they do not obey to any comprehensible rhythm and form no coloristic system. [..]" (Butin, p. 34). Despite this inner, apparently final interdependence, each individual part undergoes a metamorphosis and becomes an independent work free from the original context, after the separation of the entire work.
