Orange Rechteck vor Violett. Um 1960.
Gouache.
Signed, titled and inscribed as well as the artist's address stamp on the reverse. On firm watercolor paper. 60 x 73 cm (23.6 x 28.7 in), size of sheet. [JS].
• One of the rare early gouaches by the important protagonist of German Color Field Painting.
• Geiger's fascinating work is dedicated to the pure power of color, which the artist stages in its materiality.
• The subtle modulation of the color values is still applied with fine brushes in his early work and was replaced by the use of the spray gun in the mid-1960s.
• Geiger created impressive color spaces, the depth of which offers a sensual color experience.
• In 2007/2008, the Lenbachhaus in Munich presented a major retrospective on the occasion of the artist's 100th birthday.
PROVENANCE: Private collection Hesse.
In good condition. Paper slightly wavy and minimally creased. With isolated minimal superficial scratched and rubbed spots, as well as with isolated tiny color spots, possibly from the making. Isolated slight soiling and rubbing in margins and with a few faint traces of mounting showing through from recto.
