A magnificent, harmoniously composed work with a clear structure. Included: Certificate from Ms Müller-Jensen confirming the authenticity of the work, bearing the stamp of Galerie Rottloff, Karlsruhe, 2020. - Zangs is one of the defining figures of post-war German art, whose work is characterised by a consistent engagement with material, process and reduction.
