Oil on canvas
Starting bid: € 3,500 / $ 4,025
Gustav Kluge
1947
Konterfei Pangäa. 1995.
Oil on canvas.
Signed, dated "Okt. 95" and titled on the reverse. 170 x 100 cm (66.9 x 39.3 in). [JS].
• Painting the emotion of the soul: Kluge's expressive figurations are both captivating and disturbing.
• “Konferfei Pangäa” refers to the primordial continent of the same name, which already encompassed all of the Earth's later land masses.
• Kluge co-founded the Produzentengalerie Hamburg in 1973 and was a professor at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe until 2014.
• In 2012, the Wilhelm Hack Museum in Ludwigshafen presented the major retrospective “Gustav Kluge. Egocinem”.
PROVENANCE: Private collection, North Rhine-Westphalia.
"[..] The creation of identity is always associated with aggression and destruction. This view seems to be related to Arnulf Rainer's overpaintings—in Kluge's work, obliteration is always a painterly and thus also a creative strategy."
Quoted from: Spieler, Gustav Kluge. Egocinema, Ludwigshafen am Rhein, 2012, p. 17.
In good condition. Small puncture mark on the lower right corner of the canvas.
