Oil on canvas
Post auction sale: € 50,000 / $ 52,500
Ohne Titel. 1960.
Oil on canvas.
Signed and dated on the reverse. 98 x 68 cm (38.5 x 26.7 in). [JS].
• Rare, early color field painting that precedes Graubner's famous, object-like "Color Space Bodies" (from 1969).
• Graubner's characteristic method of working in superimposed layers of color, as well as his quest for the maximum dissolution of color, can be recognized in this work.
• Graubner's pure color painting makes us pause and can only be experienced in a contemplative observation process.
• In 2020, the MKM Museum Küppersmühle, Duisburg, presented the exhibition "COLOR ABSOLUTE. Katharina Grosse x Gotthard Graubner."
• Works by Gotthard Graubner are in numerous museum collections like the Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin, the Museum Folkwang, Essen, the MKM Museum Küppersmühle, Dortmund, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
PROVENANCE: Private collection Rhineland (obtained from the artist).
"If you look at Gotthard Graubner's works - if you begin to read them, to feel them, to discover them, and if you immerse yourself into them layer by layer, you will lose yourself and at the same time find yourself in an all-encompassing liveliness; a liveliness that knows neither beginning nor end and that characterizes Gotthard Graubner's pictorial worlds like a leitmotif. One with which we become one the moment we contemplate the work and which enters into a dialogue with us as an organic color structure. One in which the awareness of our self leads to silent contemplation. His works are in a perpetual process of transformation of becoming and growing."
Jutta Matters, Wandlungen, in: Gotthard Graubner. Mit den Bildern atmen, ex. cat. Arp Museum, Cologne 2018, p.19.
