[EH]. • One-of-a-kind. • Knoebel took the stylization of the human portrait head, as originated in Jawlensky’s “Meditations,” to its extreme in this series. • An outstanding example of Knoebel’s masterful interplay of reduction and variation. • Through the unique color combination and brushwork, Knoebel imbues the three-dimensional wooden form with a “painterly quality” and individual character. • This coloring in soft pastel tones and a pearlescent shimmer at the center is rare within the series. PROVENANCE: Private collection, Bavaria. "Imi Knoebel is one of the most radically abstract artists of today [..]. In Knoebel’s work, radicalism and consistency come together to form a balanced unity that is constantly put to the test." Zdenek Felix, quoted from: exhibition cat. Imi Knoebel. Retrospektive 1968-1996, Haus der Kunst, Munich, 1996, pp. 291f. Called up: December 5, 2026 - ca. 16.10 h +/- 20 min.
