• Imi Knoebel's rare “Kartoffelbilder” (Potato Pictures) pair the maximum unpredictability of forms with the geometric rigor characteristic of his work.
• Complex, humorous, and ironic: the potato symbolizes German identity, resistance to geometric rules, and a motif referencing art historical tradition.
• Black, red, gold: Powerful, radiant aesthetics in myriad shimmering color contrasts.
• This is the first time a work from this fascinating series is offered on the international auction market (source: artprice.com).
• In 2014/15, it was part of the important retrospective “Imi Knoebel. Works 1966-2014” at the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg.
• Knoebel's spatial creations are part of renowned international collections, such as the Hamburger Bahnhof, Museum für Gegenwart, Berlin, the Albertina in Vienna and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
