GHENIE, ADRIAN1977 Baia Mare/RumänienTitel: Ohne Titel. Datierung: 2002. Technik: Öl auf leichtem Karton, auf Leinwand aufgezogen. Maße: 33 x 44cm. Bezeichnung: Signiert und datiert oben rechts: Ghenie 2002. Rahmen/Sockel: Rahmen. Provenienz:- Kleine Galerie, Millstatt/Österreich- Privatsammlung ÖsterreichAusstellungen:- Kleine Galerie, Millstatt/Österreich 2002Adrian Ghenie ist einer der herausragenden Maler seiner Generation. Die Werke des rumänischen Künstlers erinnern an Film- oder Theatersettings und zeigen seine Interpretation von geschichtlichen, mythologischen, religiösen oder kunsthistorischen Themen. Als Ausgangspunkt für seine düsteren Szenarien wählt er oft historische Fotografien, Zeitungsausschnitte, Versatzstücke aus Film und Internet sowie Anleihen aus der Kunstgeschichte. Diese verarbeitet er in Collagen, Installationen und vor allem auf Leinwänden, indem er häufig mehrere Farbschichten aufträgt, um sie dann wieder abzukratzen oder einzuritzen. Seine Werke der letzten Jahre erinnern durch ihre stark deformierten und reduzierten Bildnisse an Werke von Francis Bacon.Der rumänische Künstler ist nicht nur Produzent von Kunstwerken, denn 2005 gründet er auch die Galerie Plan B in Cluj-Napoca, die er seit 2008 auch in Berlin betreibt. 2015 vertritt er Rumänien auf der Biennale in Venedig und baut seine Bekanntheit noch weiter aus.Das hier vorgestellte Werk aus dem Jahr 2002 zeigt in altmeisterlicher Manier einen Engel, der einen Karren nach rechts aus dem Bild, sinnbildlich in die Zukunft schiebt. Dieses Motiv bearbeitet der Künstler im selben Jahr in ähnlichen Varianten in einigen seiner Werken. Ghenie trägt auch hier die Farbe in Schichten übereinander auf. Aus den Tiefen des Werks scheint das Gelb unter dem Braun-Rot hervor zu strahlen. Das Chiaroscuro, das kontrastierende Spiel von Hell und Dunkel, taucht die Szene in ein sphärisches Licht, das nicht von dieser Welt zu sein scheint und das biblisch-anmutende Bildthema noch unterstreicht. Der Künstler lässt so emotional aufgeladene und geheimnisvolle Bildwelten entstehen, die das subjektive und nicht das objektive Empfinden in den Vordergrund stellen.

Dahl, Roald. Autograph letter on Gipsy House letterhead bearing Croxley Script watermark, 2 August 1989. "Dear Miss Wotton, I'm feeling well-disposed today so I'm sending you just one of the many many papers etc. that have been written about my work. This South African one seemed fairly intelligent. But you must send it back to me. Personal prejudice? No writer in the world has ever written without personal prejudice. Never shelter children from the world. But basically 'the content' of any children's book is of no importance other than that it enthrals the child - and thus it teaches or seduces him or her to 'like' books and to become a fit reader - which is vital if that child is going to amount to anything in later life. The book-reading child will always outstrip the non-book-reading child in later life. There are very few messages in these books of mine. They are there simply to turn the child into a reader of books. Damn it all, they are mostly pure fantasy. Have you read the latest one, 'Matilda'? It seems to have broken every sales record in the history of hardback publishing. Now do send back to me the enclosed. Roald Dahl". Some light creasing, a couple of nicks at edges, a few tiny spots of discolourationProvenance: Our vendor has kindly provided the following account of the letter's history:'I wrote to Roald Dahl speculatively as a young student, aged 20, when I was writing a dissertation on his work for my BA Hons degree in Literature and Linguistics at Portsmouth Polytechnic in 1990. I was staging a mini rebellion by focussing on controversial elements (ie violence) of Dahl's books for children, as fellow students opted for a serious approach to the likes of Kafka, Shakespeare and Homer. I stumbled across Dahl's address listed in the back of an old library book; security was clearly rather more relaxed in those days. On a whim I asked him questions which intrigued me regarding his style and attitude towards children's literature, never really dreaming of a response. So I was amazed to receive a chatty double-sided, handwritten A4 reply (plus another dissertation which he lent me), presumably written in his famous garden shed, discussing the importance of reading for children and referring to his newly published book Matilda (now a movie, West End musical etc, of course). As he indicated himself, it was unusual for him to reply to letters like mine, so I really struck lucky! With the happy-go-lucky optimism of youth I don't think I fully appreciated my good fortune. But since then I've enjoyed and treasured the letter for over 30 years and the time has come to share it, for others to read and enjoy his wise words which are dashed off in his wonderfully inimitable, flamboyant style. As the youngest of six children, I always battled with naughty decrepit hand-me-down hairy ponies, so proceeds will go towards a horse to compete whilst I'm still courageous enough and young enough to bounce a bit. I like to think Dahl, with his no-nonsense attitude, would approve of "get up and go".'
