€ 18,000 / $ 18,900 Sold:
€ 33,020 / $ 34,671 (incl. surcharge)
Monochrom. 1968.
Oil on canvas.
Signed, dated and with two direction arrows on the reverse of the folded canvas. 110 x 110 cm (43.3 x 43.3 in). [AW]. Diagonal: 156 cm (61,4 in).
• Girke is a master of monochrome painting: While his oeuvre around 1960 was still dominated by the non-colors black and white, he achieved a maximum nuance of white in the late 1960s.
• Girke's rhythmic structure and nuance create a fascinating illusion of movement and three-dimensionality.
• The protagonist in “Monochrom” is the non-color white in all its shades and degrees of expression.
• The unusual format intensifies the tacit presence and the contemplative effect.
• The absence of any motif and the consistent development of painting as a visual experience determine the radical nature of Girke's artistic creation.
PROVENANCE: Private collection, Germany.
Private collection, Belgium (from the above in 2014).
