Olaf Hauke 1935 Breslau – 2024 Hanau – “Karton zum Portrait der Kostümbildnerin Margit Koppendorfer” – (1978) Mixed media/firm cardboard. 98 x 68 cm. 122 x 90 cm (dimensions with frame). Titled, dated and signed upper center: Karton zum Portrait der Kostümbildnerin Margit Koppendorfer / 13. Januar 1978 / Olaf Hauke. Fully visible in object frame under glass. – Provenance: Formerly collection W.P.E. Eggers. Olaf Hauke studied graphic arts and book art in Leipzig and later worked as a painter and graphic artist in Hanau. The present work is a cardboard, i.e. a large-format draft, for a portrait of the costume designer Margit Koppendorfer. Koppendorfer worked at the Schauspiel Frankfurt and the Schauspielhaus Hamburg and is now one of the most sought-after costume designers in the German-speaking world, with works for the Vienna Burgtheater, among others. Hauke shows her frontally, with a striking bob haircut and expressive gestures. The finely drawn ornaments of the scarf and jacket stand out delicately from the restrained, sand-colored background and lend the portrait an elegant, almost theatrical presence, fitting for a woman of the theatre.
