Austrian Postwar Jakob Gasteiger o.T. (Blue). 2005. Acrylic on wove paper. 63 x 44 cm. Signed and dated. - Slight crease in three corners, pencil annotation verso, overall very good. Colour in exceptionally fresh condition. In his oeuvre, Gasteiger thematises the parameters of painting and visualises its processuality. His most extensive and best-known group of works is the monochrome paintings with a relief surface structure, in which the colour is applied impasto using a comb spatula. While Gasteiger applies the colour in a powerful act from top to bottom, right and left or in a circle, he documents the process of painting and emphasises temporality, at the same time breaking down the genre boundaries between painting and relief through the impasto application and formulating the transition from surface to space. Our sheet is captivating in its colour materiality, the blue is distributed gesturally and expressively like a written line. Acrylic on wove paper.
