Inspired by Josef Albers, Gonschior’s paintings are about the value, perception and effect of color. For this purpose, he uses his inventive "color dot painting": serial dots of color, on top of one another or side side by side, that fill the picture’s surface. In the present work, the dots are painted at irregular intervals on the bright orange background, they begin to whir after a short inspection and leave a hypnotized viewer. Later, from the late 1960s, Gonschior increasingly expanded his characteristic work to include installations. At documenta 6 in Kassel, Kuno Gonschior showed a widely noticed color space installation. [SM]
