Ohne Titel. 2001.
Acrylicon canvas.
Signed and dated on the reverse. 120 x 100 cm (47.2 x 39.3 in). [JS].

• Förg combines seemingly incompatible elements: Concrete Art and Gestural Abstraction, geometric rigor, and expressive spontaneity.
• In 2014, the Museum Brandhorst in Munich presented the first posthumous retrospective of the artist's work, followed by the retrospective “Günther Förg. A Fragile Beauty” at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, and the Dallas Museum of Art in 2018.
