Günther Förg
1952 - 2013
Aller Retour #102. 2008.
Oilpastell.
Signed and dated in the upper right. Numbered in the lower left. On J. Whatman laid paper (with the watermark). 73 x 108.3 cm (28.7 x 42.6 in), size of sheet. [AW].
• In the expressive watercolors of the “Aller Retour” series, Günther Förg takes spontaneous color choices and his bold brushstroke to the extreme.
• Color is celebrated as an autonomous phenomenon and explored in endless variations.
• Förg’s oeuvre combines seemingly contradictory elements: concrete art with gestural freedom, geometric precision with impulsive expression.
• The artist’s works are currently on view at the Fondation Beyeler in Riehen and in a solo exhibition at the Neues Museum in Nuremberg.
The work is registered in the Günther Förg Archive under the number WVF.08.P.0242. We are grateful to Mr. Michael Neff of the Günther Förg Estate for his kind confirmation of this work's authenticity.
PROVENANCE: Private collection, Baden-Württemberg (acquired from the artist).
Private collection, Hesse (gifted from the above).
LITERATURE: Günther Förg, Rudi Fuchs, Aller - Retour, Cologne 2008, p. 141 (illustrated in color on p. 117).
