Acrylic on canvas with PE strings and plexiglass.
Hoehme 80-13 (there mentioned as "around 1980", as no photo of the reverse side was available when the work catalog was compiled). Verso signed, dated, titled and inscribed. 110 x 79.5 x 14 cm. , incl. the PE strings.
- Characteristic work that expands the pictorial space into the third dimension through the use of plastic cords. - Fine example of Hoehme's rare play with representational associations: In "Herzfeld" the pink center is associated with the heart and the cords with the main arteries of the human body. - With his string pictures, Hoehme makes an art-historically significant contribution to the "open picture". - Hoehme is considered the main representative of German Informalism and the creator of one of the most idiosyncratic and complex works of German post-war art.
