Untitled. 1987.
Acrylic on a copper plate, on wood.
Signed and dated on the reverse. 187.3 x 90.2 cm (73.7 x 35.5 in).
From a small series of paintings on copper Förg made between 1987 and 1990. [JS].
• A superb example of Förg's masterful play with the adaptation and transformation of art historical traditions.
• One of the extremely rare large-format paintings on copper.
• Copper, light reflections and color: Förg's gently nuanced choice of colors and brushwork give the smooth metal surface a vibrant quality.
• Today, paintings from this small but important series are almost exclusively held by international collections so that they are rarely offered at international auctions.
• Large-format paintings form part of numerous international museum collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Städel Museum, Frankfurt am Main, the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, and the Moderna Musset, Stockholm .
