• Characteristic, energetic composition from the best creative period.
• The line is the key characteristic of Hartung's multifaceted oeuvre, which he increased to an energetic gesture in zoom-like detail.
• Gift from the artist and ever since part of a German private collection.
• As early as in 1975, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, dedicated a solo exhibition to the European protagonist of informal painting.
• Hartung's dynamic creations were shown in, among others, the 2008 exhibition "Action Painting" at Fondation Beyeler, Riehen/Basel, next to the works of the American representatives de Kooning, Pollock, and Twombly.
The work is registered in the archive of the Fondation Hartung / Bergman, Antibes. We are grateful for the kind support in cataloging this lot.
PROVENANCE: Private collection Germany (gifted from the artist in 1965, ever since family-owned).
