Lot no. 267
Glöckner, Hermann Peaking in blue. 1977. folding and tempera on machine-made laid paper. 21 x 29.7 cm. Monogrammed (joined) and dated verso. - Lower left corner minimally bumped, few slight handling marks in upper margin, recto and verso with scattered small traces of colour inherent to the work and due to the studio, isolated pale brown stain, overall very good and exceptionally fine. The colour fresh. Provenance: Werner Timm Collection, Berlin. - Hermann Glöckner's works are characterised by simple simplicity, constructivist rigour and quiet poetry. Following the trail of line and geometry, he combines colour and form to create harmonious compositions of the highest appeal. His folds represent the unpretentious in an almost delicate manner. Our work shows a radiant sky blue that blends symbiotically with the cream-coloured white of the paper. The interweaving of colour, form and materiality brings Glöckner's artistic means of design prominently to the fore, emphasising their intrinsic value. The autonomy of the means opens up an exploration of painterly abstraction. Folding and tempera on machine-made laid paper.
