Lot Details
Acrylic on canvas. Signed and dated on the reverse. 120 x 100 cm. . [JS].

• Förg's work is a devotion to the intrinsic value of color, the incessant attempt to bring out its inner life and almost infinite richness through new combinations and variations.
• 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.
• Förg's works are in numerous significant international collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam.
We are grateful to Mr. Michael Neff of the Günther Förg Estate for his kind confirmation of the work's authenticity. The work is registered in the archive of the Günther Förg Estate under the number WVF.01.B.0541.
Galerie Rackey, Bad Honnef. Private collection, Rhineland (acquired from the above around 2010)
