Est: €7,500 - €8,000
GÜNTHER FÖRG (Füssen, 1952 - Freiburg im Breisgau, 2013). Untitled, 2004. Watercolor on paper. Signed and dated in the upper right corner. With labels on the back. Measurements: 45,2 x 35,5 cm; 53 x 62,6 cm (frame). The painter Günther Förg is considered one of the most relevant artists of Germany in the late seventies and early eighties. His pictorial style is characterized by a colorful abstraction of great lyrical intuition. For him, abstraction is his natural language. In his paintings, whether on canvas, aluminum or lead, the physical surface of the painting is essential to experience the work. Painter, graphic designer, sculptor and photographer (most of his photographic cycles focus on architectural references), Günther Förg trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich with Karl Fred Dahmen. His first solo exhibition was held in 1980 at the Munich gallery of Rüdiger Schöttle. Between 1992 and 1999 he taught at the Staatliche Hochschule für Gestaltung in Karlsruhe. In 1996 he was awarded the Wolfgang Hahn Prize. From 1999 onwards he worked as a teacher in Munich. His work is held in important international collections such as the Architektur Galerie in Berlin, the Arken - Museum for Moderne Kunst in Denmark, the Broad Contemporary Art Museum in Santa Monica, California, the MOCA in Los Angeles, the MOMA in New York, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, the MACBA in Barcelona, the Tate Britain and Tate Modern in London, the Pompidou in Paris and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, among many others.

Provenance: - Private collection Austria Exhibitions: - Kunsthalle Recklinghausen, 2004 Literature: -Exhib. cat. Günther Förg. Make it new, Kunsthalle Recklinghausen, Recklinghausen 2004, p. 208, ill. - The work bears witness to Förg's exploration of architecture and history, in which the relationship between surface and space plays a central role - Work impresses with its size and the resulting spatiality and physical presence - In 2023, the Long Museum in Shanghai dedicated the first extensive, institutional solo exhibition in Asia to the artist, underlining the international significance and recognition of his oeuvreparticularly pronounced gesture Architecture to overcome the panel painting The preoccupation with the wall surface can be understood as the starting point and central concern in Günther Förg's artistic work. During his time at the academy in Munich from 1973 to 1979, where he studied under Karl Fred Dahmen, he earned extra money as a house painter and recognized in this activity the artistic opportunity to go beyond the boundaries of the panel painting. Förg, who was internationally known and well-versed in a variety of media including painting, sculpture and photography, participated in the 1992 documenta IX and received the renowned Wolfgang Hahn Prize in 1996. He used architecture and its constructive elements for his compositions, adopting structure and sequence as the design principles for his paintings. In these, geometric forms structure the picture surface and simultaneously open up the illusionistic space. Förg often starts with architectural photographs in order to capture the contours and volumes of the buildings and the dynamic interplay between the façade and the structure. The artist also explores this relationship between surface and space in his wall paintings, which, with 140 examples, form a central group of works within his oeuvre. Moving color and clear line structure The subject of the untitled work from 2004 initially appears to be clearly recognizable: a house facade, a window, a window in the window. A framework of black, right-angled lines divides the canvas into white and green fields, which at the same time seem to allude to the traditional components of a painting, the frame and the image field. A square, in which a smaller square is slightly off-center, occupies the center of the composition. In turn, a truncated rectangle is visible in this square, which, like an opening in the pictorial surface, provides a clear view of the plane of the background. In contrast to the clear structure of verticals and horizontals, the precisely outlined areas are colored with a lively, painterly handwriting. In places, traces of the brush and the gesturally drawn paths break through the given linear boundaries: the sweeping painterly application is not subject to the precision of an architecture drawing made at the drawing board. Instead, the graphic elements of the spatial effect of the painting serve here. In the complexity of the interaction between form and color, larger and smaller color areas interpenetrate each other in an exciting way; the structure is dissolved in pure abstraction. Through the network of lines and the resulting sections, perspectives shift, and the spatial impression becomes the significant subject of the painting. The impressive size of the painting alone creates a sense of space and physical presence. Successive staggered levels suggest a view into an imaginary depth, all the way to a fleeting, shimmering and thus almost impressionistic view of nature – of greenery. The simulation of an architectural construction serves not so much to reproduce a place or an object, but to reveal the constructive principles of painting. Despite the suggestion of a concrete object - as here, for example, by the illusion of a window - Förg's painting is self-reflective. Bettina Haiss.
