Lot 120: Johannes Schreiter, Serigraph, ‘Fazit 17/1971/S’, Germany, 1971

The tension between organic and constructive picture elements is an important theme in the artist's oeuvre. In this graphic he deals with it, too. In the strictly geometrical structure of horizontals and verticals is inserted an organic looking shape in the right half.

The serigraph in color is signed lower right in pencil ‘Schreiter’ and lower left numbered, inscribed and dedicated in pencil ‘14/100 Fazit 17/1971/S – Walter Helmut Fritz gewidmet’. There is a small tear (1 cm) in the right edge. The margins are slightly stained, overall the sheets shows minor signs of age and wear. The overall impression is good. The image measures 64,8 x 49,4 cm, the sheet 70.2 x 54.7 cm.
