Charcoal, graphite and color chalks on glassine
Estimate:
€ 40,000 - 60,000
$ 42,000 - 63,000
Lamento. 1986.
Charcoal, graphite and color chalks on glassine.
Upper right signed and dated. 150.8 x 101 cm (59.3 x 39.7 in), the full sheet. [JS].
Initially, lot 12 and lot 13 are called up individually, subsequently combined as one lot.
• This is a rare opportunity to acquire both the preliminary drawing and the painting in one auction.
• In his large-size preliminary drawings, Klapheck conceived his perfect compositions in original size from complex line structures that he transferred onto the canvas.
• Fascinating document of the lately deceased artist's unmatched construction- and work process.
• Klapheck's documents "bear witness to [him] grappling with the smell of sweat from his deperate searching and groping" (K. Klapheck, 1982).
• "Initially, [.] the drawing serves a preparatory purpose. At times it has its very own appeal, and that's why it shouldn't be regarded better or worse than the final painting." (K. Klapheck, 2007).
• Part of a Southern German private collection for nearly 30 years.
PROVENANCE: Kunsthandel Marion Grcic-Ziersch, Moderne Kunst, Munich (with the label on the reverse, presumbaly until 1994, Villa Grisebach, auction 40, November 25, 1994).
Private collection Southern Germany (acquired from the above, presumably in 1994).
LITERATURE: Villa Grisebach, Berlin, auction 40, Moderne Kunst, cat. no. 64 (fig.).
"I began by drawing a vertical and a horizontal center line on the canvas with a red pencil [..]. Now there were several things I had to avoid: No line was allowed to pass through the intersection point, no intersection point of two charcoal lines was allowed to lie on the red pencil cross. All distances between the intersections on the cross had to differ in length, none was allowed to repeat, not even as the sum of two distances. I worked with the folding yardstick [..] and when the foreshortening problems of perspective came on top, the calculator became my main tool. And what was the point of it all? I wanted to achieve the greatest possible tension, the greatest possible asymmetry."
