I wanna be loved by you: Marilyn Monroe 1, 2006, inscribed, dated and monogrammed on the reverse 75/2006, C. O. P., acrylic on canvas, 190 x 158 cm, on stretcher
Provenance:
Galerie Levy Hamburg (label)
Sale Van Ham, Cologne, 2 June 2015, lot 213
Private Collection Germany
From the 1960s onwards, Claus Otto Paeffgen, a lawyer by training, established his reputation with his partly critical, partly ironical and witty, sometimes pop and occasionally poetic ‘Umwickelungen’ (wrappings) and ‘Umrandungen’ (borderings), which he used to highlight the banality of mass culture. The ‘Umrandungen’, which include the present work, were created by thickly outlining photographs and newspaper clippings that the artist subsequently projected onto canvas.
