Lampe, 1949.
Oil on canvas
Post auction sale: € 60,000 / $ 63,000
Lampe. 1949.
Oil on canvas.
Signed and dated in the lower left. Signed, dated, titled and inscribed “XIX 9.” on the stretcher. Inscribed “495” by a hand other than that of the artist on the reverse. 59 x 71 cm (23.2 x 27.9 in). [CH].
• The catalogue raisonné mentions this work as the first in the series of the “Fugal Paintings”.
• With this colorful work and the subsequent work group, Nay achieved rhythmic balance between figuration and abstraction, order and movement.
• Formerly part of the collection of the Berlin gallerist Eberhard Seel, 1950-1972 managing director of the Deutscher Künstlerbund, collector and close friend of the artist.
• In 1952 the work was part of the early retrospective at Haus am Waldsee, Berlin.
• The same year he created a color lithograph and a gouache of the same subject, albeit in different colors.
• Early professional highlights: One year before and one year after this work was made, E. W. Nay participated in the Biennale di Venezia (1948 and 1950).
