Hans Hartung * - Zeitgenössische Kunst I-

(Leipzig 1904–1989 Antibes)
T 1987_EI5, 1987, acrylic on canvas, 65 x 50 cm, framed, is titled and dated on the reverse

During his final years ( 1986-1989), Hartung makes a series of paintings that testifies to an enormous degree of freedom. They are very innovative and a perfect fit for the period of the Eighties when graffiti and Street Art are at a highpoint. The works explode by virtue of their use of color and speed of execution. It is as though all pressure has been lifted from the artist, and that he has regained total freedom of expression in the use of spray nozzles of varying intensities to create an ensemble of canvases where speed of execution is driven to the extreme.
(from Hans Hartung, Le père de l’abstraction lyrique Peintre des éclaires. S. Vanhoegaerden Gallery, Knokke-Belgium)

Alex Katz - Zeitgenössische Kunst I-

(born in Brooklyn/New York in 1927)
Maria, 1990 signed and dated, oil on board, 45.7 x 60.7 cm, framed

In the nineteen-fifties, when most of the serious art being done was abstract, Katz outraged scores of artists and formalist critics by inventing new ways to paint the human figure. He has always had his own direction, which has not been the direction of mainstream art in any of the last seven decades. In a Katz painting, style—the way it’s painted—is the primary element. His confident, crisply articulated technique makes us see the world the way he sees it, clear and up close, with all but the most essential details pared away. (…)

His main influences were television ads, movie closeups, Japanese prints (by Utamaro, in particular), and billboards (…).

Katz had found a way to paint portraits that he described, as “brand-new terrific.” Ignoring character and mood, he offered the pure sensation of outward appearance—not who the people were, but how they appeared at a specific moment. “I can’t think of anything more exciting than the surface of things,” he later told an interviewer.

(born in Krnov 1954)
Mis Mus Sian, 2014, titled, several times signed Dokoupil on the overlap, soap-lye and pigments on canvas, 250 x 300 cm or 300 x 250 cm (the work can be hung vertical or horizontal), on stretcher

Kasmin Gallery, New York, Jiří (Georg) Dokoupil, New paintings,
8 January - 7 February 2015

Jiří (Georg) Dokoupil has been putting his art on canvases since the 1970s - and for much of that time without a brush. He constantly reinvents the production of artworks, expresses his creativity with the most diverse materials, such as breast milk or fruit juices, and thinks \"outside the box\". His oeuvre now comprises about 140 series, which are not at all alike. He is a quick-change artist in the contemporary art world. Like a pop culture star, he completely reinvents his art with each series.

The early flight from his homeland and the associated deprivation of a national, social and personal identity meant the artist never developed a fixed style of his own. (Compare Wilfried Dickhoff, Soap Bubble Thinking, p.5, in: Jiří (Georg) Dokoupil..

Soap Bubble Paintings, Berlin 2015)
The Soap Bubble Paintings series is one of his longest-running series. The work offered here, \"Mis Mus Sian\", is part of it.

Standing on a ladder with a metal hoop, Jiří (Georg) Dokoupil. lowers his soap bubbles onto the canvas. He uses soap suds mixed with shimmering pigments, the exact composition of which he keeps strictly secret. The individual layers of soap bubbles, their shimmering pigments and superimpositions create a sphere of their own. The result is a depth undreamed of in a two-dimensional work, which can only be properly experienced through viewing the work in person. The soap bubbles glitter dynamically on the deep blue background of the painting and evoke movement through their different shapes and orientations. Due to the enormous format of over 250 x 300 cm, the experience of the work is like visiting a giant aquarium. At first, one is overwhelmed by the work’s abundance and appearance and, as time goes by, one dives deeper and deeper into its cosmos. The artist leaves it up to the owner to hang the work in portrait or landscape format. For this reason, he has signed the reverse on two sides.
„It’s all about making something that is not doable“
Jiří (Gerog) Dokupil
