ROTRAUT (KLEIN-MOQUAY)
Est: €8,000 - €12,000
Rotraut (Klein-Moquay) (1938) Wall installation consisting of eleven sculptures: Fencing, Lion, Dragon, Sara, Sea Woman, Shark, Angel, Quail, Hawk, Butterfly & Ische (2007) Each signed and dated 2007 on the reverse Unique piece Each painted aluminium, total installation 270 x 206 cm Provenance: - Gmurzynska Gallery, Zurich, 2007 - Private collection, the Netherlands Note: Including an installation map drawn on plastic. Rotraut Klein-Moquay, originally named Rotraut Uecker, came into the world in 1938. After immersing herself in the world of art in Dusseldorf, she relocated to Nice in 1958 to work as an au pair for the family of the artist Arman. It was in Nice that she encountered and developed a relationship with Yves Klein. The couple embarked on a journey to New York and Los Angeles, establishing their residence, showcasing Klein's art, and becoming part of the vibrant art community. In 1962, Rotraut and Klein exchanged vows in Paris. Unfortunately, Klein passed away six months later, leaving Rotraut anticipating the arrival of their son. In 1968, Rotraut entered into a new marriage with the curator Daniel Moquay. In her early artistic pursuits, Rotraut initially explored drawing and painting. However, by the 1990s, she transitioned to sculpture as her primary medium. Many of Rotraut's creations are distinguished by vibrant, primary colours and manifest as monumental sculptures. Her inaugural public exhibition unfolded in 1959 at the New Visions gallery in London. Subsequently, her work has graced numerous solo and group exhibitions at esteemed institutions such as Galerie Amstel 47 in the Netherlands, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, and the Musée d'art moderne et d'art contemporain in Nice. Rotraut's sculptures and paintings have maintained a prominent presence at Art Basel in both Switzerland and the U.S. In 2018, an exhibition at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art cast a spotlight on her work. * Please note: condition reports and additional photos are available upon request.
