• K. O. Götz is one of the protagonists of German Informalism.
• Highlights of his artistic career: in 1958 participation in the 29th Venice Biennial, 1959 in documenta II in Kassel, 1968 in 34th Venice Biennial.
• In 1964, shortly after our work was created, the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels showed the to date most comprehensive solo exhibition of his works.
• Characteristic work from the 1960s, in which the artist explores the spectrum of forms of gestural abstraction with a broad brush and sweeping movements.

We are grateful to Mr Joachim Lissmann, K. O. Götz and Rissa Foundation, for the kind expert advice. The work will be included into the forthcoming catalog raisonné of works on paper and on board.
