Günther Förg

Günther Förg 1952 - 2013 Untitled. 1998. Acrylic and oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the upper right. 150 x 130 cm (59 x 51.1 in). • Grid Painting: Förg’s “grid paintings” are among the highlights of his body of work. • A powerful composition that derives its particular strength from the radiant color and the contrast between surface and texture. • Tension: Concealment and revelation, symmetry and asymmetry, monochromy. • A splendid example of Förg’s masterful adaptation of art-historical traditions: For his “Grid Paintings”, Förg engaged deeply with the late work of Edvard Munch, adopting motifs and stylistic gestures in an abstract form. • New on the market: Available on the international auction market for the first time (source: artprice.com). The work is registered in the Günther Förg Estate archive under the number WVF.98.B0010 (F1, F2). PROVENANCE: MASSIMODECARLO Gallery, London Private collection, Hesse (acquired from the above in 2015). “Günther Förg is a painter who pursues his own path, employing rigorous means of reduction and concentration to achieve a state in which a painting makes a visual impact through color, form, and structure, while simultaneously conveying a wealth of references and meanings through its background.” Bern Reiss, in exhibition cat. Günther Förg 1987-2011, Galerie Max Hetzler, Berlin 2012, p. 17. Called up: December 5, 2026 - ca. 17.58 h +/- 20 min.
