• Minimalist aesthetics at their finest.
• Repetition and variation: Knoebel translates the artistic principle of pop art into abstract painting.
• Multi-part composition as a principle: Knoebel’s multi-part works, in particular, bring his serial concept to life.
• Metallic hardness & painterly brushwork: Through his delicate brushstrokes, Knoebel envelops the smooth aluminum surface in a soft “painterly incarnate.”
• Most recently, Knoebel’s works were on view in “Imi Knoebel. Green Flag” at White Cube, Hong Kong (2023), and in “Balance” at the Hamburger Bahnhof, National Gallery of Contemporary Art, Berlin (2022).
PROVENANCE: From the artist’s studio.
