Hans Bischoffshausen *


Hans Bischoffshausen * - Contemporary Art I

(Feld am See, Carinthia, 1927–1987)
Untitled, signed Bischoffshausen, inscription on the reverse Paris 62, direction arrow, measurements and label of the artist, PVC, oil, gouache, gold lacquer on wood, 75 x 42 x 2.2 cm

Provenance:
Family Collection, Carinthia - directly from the artist

...The first Joanneumpreis for contemporary painting fulfilled my dream of going to Paris in 1959.

The second miracle: despite grueling odd jobs, I cough up hundreds of works.
Already in 1961/62 I am represented in some galleries, belong to the group ‘Zero-Avantgarde’, and my most important period begins. ..
From: Hans Bischoffshausen, from Versuch einer Biographie, 1977

Bischoffshausen saw himself as an outsider at Zero Avantgarde, even though he felt he belonged nowhere else.
This is a position he has cultivated, enjoyed and hated.
