Gotthard Graubner *
(Erlbach, Vogtland, 1930–2013 Neuss, North Rhine-Westphalia)
Untitled, 1963, on the reverse of the canvas signed, dated Gotth. Graubner 1963, gouache on paper on canvas, 66 x 53 cm, framed in whitened glass box (79.2 x 66.2 cm)
Provenance:
Kunsthaus Lempertz, 4.12.2011, lot 775
Private Collection, Germany - acquired at the above auction
We are grateful to the Estate of Gotthard Graubner for the kind assistance.
As Graubner himself said, 1963 was a critical year for his artistic development: he really tackled the relationship between colour and space head-on. Colour and light “breathe” within a body.
The first cushion pictures were made. As in the present work, Graubner experimented with colour-soaked paper, which he hoisted onto a canvas. They are the forerunners of his subsequent colour-space bodies which he made from 1970 onwards. G.Z.
