• The renowned art critic Donald Kuspit once described Frank Gerritz as the last “abstract hardliner”.
• Strictly conceptual wall sculpture reduced to geometric forms.
• Skilful interplay of dark and light: the surface appears completely black, but the strokes of the paintstick remain visible while the aluminum elements reflect the light in a muted way.
• Exhibited in the artist's comprehensive museum exhibition at the Weserburg, Museum of Modern Art, Bremen in 2008.

PROVENANCE: Private collection North Rhine-Westphalia.
