• Horst Antes is considered a pioneer of new figurative painting in Germany after 1945.
• Following Antes' development of the “Kopffüßler” (“Head Footer”) in the early 1960s, the central motif in the artist's work underwent constant change.
• The artist creates an almost dreamlike, mystical effect with clear lines, reduced colors, and mask-like faces.
• Works from these formative years, 1972/73, can be found in important museum collections, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma in Helsinki, and the Sprengel Museum in Hanover.
