• In his legendary “Flächenbahnen,” Kricke brings the linear aesthetics of Informalism into the realm of spatiality.
• As early as 1961, Kricke’s groundbreaking oeuvre was honored with a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
• Timeless modern aesthetics: Kricke’s “spatial sculptures” resemble weightless, delicate beams of light extending into space,they are considered the pinnacle of his quest for the “unity of space and time”.
