Ohne Titel. 1973.
Thinned Oil paint on cellulose, upper corners originally sewn on backing board.
Signed, dated and dedicated "Für R. G. Dienst" in bottom center. 174 x 125.5 cm (68.5 x 49.4 in), size of sheet. [JS].
• Rare early paper work in a monumental format.
• Graubner materializes and delimits the color by soaking an absorbent image carrier with thinned paint.
• Soft color tone, which appears veiled through the image carrier's opaque materiality, just as in Graubner's early nylon-covered cushion pictures.
• Formerly part of the collection of the artist and art critic Rolf-Gunter Dienst.
PROVENANCE: Formerly in the collection of Rolf-Gunter Dienst, Berlin.
Company collection North Rhine-Westphalia (until 2019).
"The color unfolds as a color organism; I observe its independent existence, I respect its autonomy. This way the two-dimensional expansion could condense into a body, and the body could dissolve into a condensation in space as fog. The foggy space, probably the most total expression of my painting, appeals to all senses [..]."
Gotthard Graubner, in: Kritisches Lexikon der Gegenwartskunst, vol. 16, Munich 1991, p. 15.
