The paper was laid down on canvas directly by the artist as evident also from the signature and the date on the reverse.
Yes, 1954 was a critical year, but my first works featuring the sign, which I made on paper, were born in 1953. The meaning behind this choice, my surrender to the sign, which was basic at first and structural later, no doubt emerged from the idea artists have always had about contemporary art, about culture in their time.
Although I wasn’t studying mathematics or anthropology, Structuralism was a topical discovery all the same, something that exhisted in the Western world.
I bestowed an image on the Structuralist vision of the world; a visual image that bore all the components: events, the aggregation of signs were repeated in my paintings with phenomenic variations: but always faithful to themselves and repeatable.

Yes, in the sense that a painting actually always develops out of a proliferation and growth and evolutionary process and in the sense that every result cries out for a new one, so to speak, or generates something new. This always plays itself out in various ways. In principle, it has something to do with the phenomena that can be experienced in painting. This global issue results from the fact that I have found painting to be something that creates identity and meaning. You get to know yourself and express yourself and enter into a process where you are not only passively at the mercy of others, but can also achieve a lot on a creative level.
Gunter Damisch, in conversation with Friedhelm Mennekes
Ja, in diesem Sinne, daß sich ein Bild eigentlich immer aus einem Wuchern und Wachsen und evolutionären Prozeß heraus entwickelt und sozusagen jedes Ergebnis nach einem neuen schreit oder etwas Neues generiert. Das spielt sich immer in Variationen durch und hat grundsätzlich etwas mit Phänomenen zu tun, die in der Malerei erfahrbar sind. Dieses Weltthema resultiert daher, daß ich Malerei als etwas Identitäts- und Sinnstiftendes empfunden habe. Man lernt sich da kennen und ausdrücken und begibt sich in einen Prozeß, wo man nicht nur passiv ausgeliefert ist, sondern auch gestalterisch eine Menge bewirken kann.

Cy Twombly occupies a unique position among US artists. Twombly lived and worked in Italy, far from the 美国 art world, and felt free to experiment. In Rome, Twombly refined his distinctive artistic language. Twombly\'s visual language is informed by classical literature, ancient history, poetry and mythology, as well as his own life experience. Since the 1950s, Twombly\'s drawings have been dominated by rhythmically repeated line progressions, swirls, dense tangles and isolated numbers. Pencil, coloured pens and ballpoint pens enabled Twombly to make this \'scriptural\' drawing, which ultimately includes the signature of the artist himself. On the white of the paper, the pictorial elements provoke by appearing as scribbles, appearing as if randomly distributed on the surface.
The untitled work offered here is a vivid example of Twombly\'s unique pictorial language. The pictorial elements merge into an abstract composition that is both delicate and dynamic. The work was created in Italy between 1963-64. Twombly lived in a 17th-century palazzo on Via di Monserrato in Rome at the time the work was created. Untitled is emblematic of the groundbreaking work Twombly produced in the 1960s, widely regarded as a critical and highly fruitful period in his long and illustrious career.
“Paint is something that I use with my hands and do all those tactile things. I really don’t like oil because you can’t get back into it, or you make a mess. It’s not my favourite thing... pencil is more my medium than wet paint.”

Ketterer Kunst, Munich, 18 June 2021, lot 302 - acquired there by the present owner
Hans Hartung\'s entire oeuvre is characterised by abstract, non-objective painting. This interplay of light and shadow, structure, texture and airiness would become the formative elements of his later works. The non-figurative painting T 1964 - E 40 offered here also belongs to his catalogue of work. The canvas is primed in yellow, the upper part of the painting is dipped in a rich black. Above this is a layer of dark blue paint splashes with white accents, which the artist has worked on with a steel brush and scraper. A particular focus of the work is the complementary contrast of blue and yellow as well as the contrast between surface and stroke. The pictorial space is composed of light, shadow and their contrast.
The multitude of brushstrokes and scratches, the result of the painter\'s activity on the canvas, represent Hartung\'s style of the 1960s. The compositional scheme of the work offered here is reminiscent of the depiction of fireworks. The rockets explode in the night sky and colour it a sulphurous yellow.
“The first and most important thing is to remain free, free in each line you undertake, in your ideas and in your political action, in your moral conduct. The artist especially must remain free from all outer restraints.”

Luckow, Dirk: Zwei Sammler - Thomas Olbricht und Harald Falckenberg, Cologne 2011, p. 52 (without ill.)
The British artist Jason Martin expands the possibilities of painting with his innovative approach in using unusual materials which serve as paint. He attracted international attention with his large, brushed oil paintings, executed in thin layers of paint with self-made comb-like tools – such as the one being auctioned off. Because of the light bouncing off the shiny surface, experiencing the work in person is like walking towards a sculpture rather than a painting.
“There’s never really any single point to review the work or to experience the work, it’s about moving around. But there is a stillness as well, in that the organisation of the marks all collide into a central or suggested central point. […] When you encounter a work of mine, there is an academic approach to the performative act, the gestural act. I have a series of reduced movements that then compile in a composition. And you also look through it, because there is this implied sense of looking through, this illusion. […] I would suggest that my paintings are a hybrid between that naturalism, that looking through, that perspectival space, that implied pictorial depth and the didactic, academic concerns of abstraction, which are for me physical and arm-led, or I immerse my body into the whole making of the work. And they sit very much in between these two places, these two worlds. [...]”
