Hans Hartung *


Hans Hartung * - Contemporary Art I

(Leipzig 1904–1989 Antibes)
T 1987_EI5, 1987, acrylic on canvas, 65 x 50 cm, framed, is titled and dated on the reverse

This work is registered in the Fondation Hans Hartung et Anna-Eva Bergman and is accompanied by a photo certificate of authenticity

This work will be included in the artist’s forthcoming Catalogue Raisonné currently being prepared by the Fondation Hans et Anna-Eva Bergman

Provenance:
Folini Arte, Lugano
European Private Collection
Acquired from the above by the present owner

During his final years ( 1986-1989), Hartung makes a series of paintings that testifies to an enormous degree of freedom. They are very innovative and a perfect fit for the period of the Eighties when graffiti and Street Art are at a highpoint. The works explode by virtue of their use of color and speed of execution. It is as though all pressure has been lifted from the artist, and that he has regained total freedom of expression in the use of spray nozzles of varying intensities to create an ensemble of canvases where speed of execution is driven to the extreme.
(from Hans Hartung, Le père de l’abstraction lyrique Peintre des éclaires. S. Vanhoegaerden Gallery, Knokke-Belgium)
