Acrylic on panel. Signed and dated as well as typographically titled on a label on the reverse. 200 x 140 cm.
• A rare large-format work from Imi Knoebel's portrait series.
• In Knoebel's famed portrait series, he took the stylization of the human head, which Alexej von Jawlensky initiated in his “Meditations,” to an extreme.
• Through the individual color combinations and brushwork, Knoebel lends the three-dimensional wooden body a “painterly incarnation” and individual character.
• Most recently, Knoebel's works were on view in the exhibition “Imi Knoebel. Green Flag” at White Cube, Hongkong (2023), and in the exhibition ‘Balance’ at Hamburger Bahnhof - Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart, Berlin (2022).
• Works by Imi Knoebel are in possession of important international collections like the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin, and the Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich.
