Rupprecht Geiger (1908–2009) - Siebdruck - Sonderausgabe...

This exceptional hand-signed screen print by Rupprecht Geiger vividly embodies the artist’s unmistakable visual language. The work is hand-signed in pencil and dated “K. C. Geiger 98” on the lower right. The piece belongs to a very rare special edition of the “Calendar 1991,” executed outside the regular edition and in a very small quantity. These works were personally signed and dated by Rupprecht Geiger only in 1998. About the work: The composition focuses entirely on the effect of color. A broad red field evolves from an intense, luminous red in the lower area to a deep, darker red in the upper part. The soft transition between the different red tones creates remarkable spatial depth and makes color itself the central subject of the image. At the bottom edge, the solid color field dissolves into a finely sprayed, granular texture and gradually blends into the light paper ground. It is precisely this transition that lends the strictly reduced composition a sense of lightness and tension. Framing: The work is professionally and high-quality framed in an exclusive Swiss hand-made Plexiglass showcase. Plexiglass showcase dimensions: approx. 67 x 61 cm About the artist: Rupprecht Geiger (1908–2009) is among the most important representatives of German Color Field painting and 20th-century abstract art. As a cofounder of the avant-garde group ZEN 49, he developed a consistently non-representational visual language in which color becomes the actual content of the image. He gained international recognition primarily through his monumental red and fluorescence compositions, whose intense luminosity became his unmistakable hallmark. His works combine geometric abstraction with color theory and a almost spiritual conception of color as light and atmosphere. Works by Rupprecht Geiger are today in the collections of major museums worldwide, including the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, and the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich,.
