• Preliminary drawing in the same format as the painting also offered in this auction.
• While Klapheck's hyper-representational paintings fascinate with their utmost perfection, Klapheck's preliminary drawings are unique documents of the meticulous and complex creative process.
• This is a rare opportunity to acquire both the preliminary drawing and the corresponding painting in one auction.
• What makes this combination so special is the fact that preliminary drawing and painting differ in a small detail, in the painting, Klapheck omitted the number "1789" embossed on the key here.
• Painted in 1989, the year the Berlin Wall came down, Klapheck wanted to add yet another level of interpretation in addition to the infinity loop with this number: The year 1789, the beginning of the French Revolution and a reference to the historically important dawn of democracy and freedom
.
