Karl Horst Hödicke
Katzensprung, 1986.
Synthetic resin on nettle
Post auction sale: € 20,000 / $ 21,000
Katzensprung. 1986.
Synthetic resin on nettle.
Signed, dated and titled on the reverse. 171 x 231 cm (67.3 x 90.9 in). [CH].
• Large-format work from the sought-after 1980s.
• With a humorous eye and in bold colors, Hödicke creates complex and bizarre pictorial worlds inhabited by animals and carnivalesque figures.
• Due to Hödicke's complex iconography, much remains enigmatic and vague, but this ambiguity describes one of the central qualities of his work.
• Kaspar (Punch) initially contradicts the seriousness of this painting, but at the same time adds a disturbing note with his large, artificial, almost diabolical grin.
• Hödicke's Berlin studio was located on Dessauer Strasse at the time, not far from the Wall, so the 'Katzensprung' (stone's throw) can perhaps also be seen as a sophisticated painterly commentary on it.
• Hödicke's works from the 1980s can be found in, among others, the collections of the Berlinische Galerie, Berlin, the Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, and the Städel Museum, Frankfurt am Main.
• 2020 zeigen die Pinakothek der Moderne, München, und das Palais Populaire, Berlin, jeweils großangelegte Werkschauen seines Schaffens.
