[EH]. • Arnulf Rainer is one of the most important artists of the Austrian avant-garde after 1945. • An extremely early overpainting from the 1950s—as characteristic of the artist as it is magnificent—in which the black monochrome covers nearly the entire picture surface. • Through the materiality of the paint, applied layer by layer to the canvas with gestural brushstrokes, Arnulf Rainer creates a mysterious internal structure. • In 1962, the work was part of the artist’s first solo exhibition in Asia.
