• One of the artist's first large-size prints.
• In the course of a stay in Capri in 1983, Förg, who has since used various artistic techniques with aplomb, developed a liking for photography.
• In addition to the photos of the Villa Malaparte, Capri, the surreal-looking photos of Munich stairwells, which were taken a little later, are among the first famous series of works in this technique.
• Fascinating testimony to Förg's photographic examination of architecture, which he stages in a cool and alienating manner in clear geometric structures and which thus interacts with his painting.
• Unique object.
• Part of a private collection in the Rhineland since the 1980s.

The work is registered in the archive of the Estate Günther Förg. We are grateful to Mr Michael Neff of the Estate Günther Förg for his kind confirmation of this work's authenticity.


"The clear form [of architecture photography] offered me an opportunity to go from photography to painting."
