Otto Piene 1928 Laasphe - 2014 BerlinOhne Titel. 1962.Aquarell und Ruß. Rechts unten signiert und datiert. Links unten bezeichnet `107`. Auf fasrigem Karton. 21,5 x 20,5 cm (8,4 x 8 in), blattgroß. [SM]. Otto Piene wird 1928 im westfälischen Laasphe geboren und wächst in Lübbecke auf. Nach Kriegsdienst und Gefangenschaft beginnt Piene im Alter von 20 Jahren mit seinem Studium an der Blocherer Schule und an der Kunstakademie in München. Zwei Jahre später wechselt er an die Düsseldorfer Kunstakademie, wo er bis 1953 eingeschrieben ist. Danach folgt ein vierjähriges Philosophiestudium an der Universität Köln. Ab Mitte der fünfziger Jahre beginnt Piene, sich künstlerisch mit dem Element Licht auseinanderzusetzen. Die Arbeiten präsentiert er ab 1955 in Gruppenausstellungen, 1959 in einer Einzelausstellung, die die Galerie Schmela in Düsseldorf ausrichtet. 1957 gründet Piene zusammen mit Heinz Mack die Gruppe `ZERO`, der sich auch Günther Uecker anschließt. Mit den beiden anderen Künstlern gibt Piene bis 1961 auch das gleichnamige Magazin heraus. In der Zeit von 1961 bis 1966 veranstaltet die Gruppe zahlreiche `ZERO`-Ausstellungen. So ist sie 1964 auf der Documenta 3 mit einem `ZERO-Lichtraum` als Gemeinschaftsarbeit der drei Künstler vertreten. In diesem Jahr übernimmt Piene eine Lehrtätigkeit an der University of Pennsylvania, die er vier Jahre lang ausübt. Im Anschluss geht er an das Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) in Cambridge/USA, wo er ab 1972 eine Professur für Umweltkunst innehat und von 1974 bis 1993 Direktor des Center for Advanced Visual Studies (CAVS) ist. Bereits 1967 findet eine erste Retrospektive von Pienes Werken im Museum am Ostwall in Dortmund statt, zehn Jahre später bietet ihm die Documenta wieder eine Plattform zur Präsentation seiner Objekte. 1990 wird der Künstler Mitglied im Beirat des Zentrums für Kunst und Medien in Karlsruhe. Ab 1994 ist er Direktor emeritus am CAVS.Bekannt ist Otto Piene durch seine lichtkinetischen Arbeiten, insbesondere das Lichtballett, in denen der Künstler eine Verbindung von Natur und Technik herzustellen sucht. Ebenso zeigt sich die konsequente Auseinandersetzung mit den Themen Licht, Bewegung und Raum in seinen technisch völlig anders gearteten Raster- und Feuerbildern, mit denen Piene ab den sechziger Jahren experimentiert, darüber hinaus in seinen Luft- und Lichtplastiken und in den von ihm inszenierten Sky Events. Otto Piene stirbt am 17. Juli 2014 in Berlin, wo in zwei Parallelausstellungen in der Neuen Nationalgalerie und der KunstHalle Deutsche Bank sein Lebenswerk gewürdigt wird.ENGLISH VERSIONOtto Piene 1928 Laasphe - 2014 BerlinOhne Titel. 1962.Watercolor and soot.

Otto Piene was born in Laasphe in Westphalia in 1928 and grew up in Lübbecke. After military service and war captivity Piene began his studies at the Blocher School and at the Kunstakademie in Munich at the age of 20. Two years later he went to the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf where he was enrolled until 1953. Then followed a four-year degree in philosophy at the university of Cologne. Piene began studying the element of light in art around the mid 1950s. He had exhibitions from 1955 onwards, first group exhibitions and, in 1959, his first one-man exhibition at the Galerie Schmela in Düsseldorf. Together with Heinz Mack Piene founded the group `ZERO` in 1957. The group was later also joined by Günther Uecker. Until 1961 the three artists published the art journal `ZERO`. The group organised numerous ZERO-exhibitions between 1961 and 1966. They exhibited a `ZERO Lichtraum`, a joint work of the three artists, at the documenta III in 1964.

Adolf Luther 1912 Krefeld - 1990 KrefeldOhne Titel. 1967.Objekt. Runder Hohlspiegel und Planspiegel auf Holz, in Aluminiumrahmen. Verso signiert und datiert. 46 x 46 x 8 cm (18,1 x 18,1 x 3,1 in). PROVENIENZ: Privatsammlung Hessen. Die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Wesen und der Ästhetik des Lichts bildet die Grundlage der Arbeiten Adolf Luthers. Mit seinen beeindruckenden Glas-, Spiegel- und Linsenobjekten löst sich Luther von jeglicher Art der Darstellung und macht das Licht zum alleinigen Inhalt seiner Werke: `Wenn die Impressionisten herausgefunden hatten, daß die großen Themen aus der Malerei heraus und zugunsten der Konzentration auf Lichterscheinungen reduziert werden mußten, so habe ich herausgefunden, daß das Bild selbst weg muß, damit der Weg frei wird für andere Medien, die Medien des Lichts.` (Adolf Luther, zit. nach: Ralph Merthen, Luther - Magie des Lichtes, Stuttgart 1990, S. 39). ca. 11.14 h +/- 20 Min.ENGLISH VERSIONAdolf Luther 1912 Krefeld - 1990 KrefeldOhne Titel. 1967.Object.

Raimund Girke 1930 Heinzendorf/Schlesien - 2002 KölnMonochrom. 1968.Öl auf Leinwand. Verso auf der umgeschlagenen Leinwand signiert, datiert und mit zwei Richtungspfeilen. 110 x 110 cm (43,3 x 43,3 in). Diagonale: 156 cm (61,4 in).[EH].PROVENIENZ: Privatsammlung Deutschland. Der Künstler Raimund Girke entwickelt eine eigenständige, formal zunehmend bis an die Grenzen des Darstellbaren reduzierte Bildsprache. Im Laufe der 1960er Jahre findet er zu jenen parallelen Farbschichtungen und streng linearen Farbmodulationen, welche für sein gesamtes ?uvre prägend sein werden. Ähnlich wie die Künstler der Gruppe `ZERO` stellt auch Raimund Girke die Farbe Weiß ins Zentrum seiner entrückten Schöpfungen, welche ihre kontemplative Wirkung durch den anonymisierten, nebelartigen Farbauftrag mit der Spritzpistole gewinnen. In Girkes zarten Schöpfungen tritt der in Schichten aufgetragene Farbschleier dem Betrachter als unbestimmter Raum entgegen. Eine Struktur aus changierenden Weißtönen breitet sich sanft über die Leinwand aus, welche bei direktem Lichteinfall plötzlich fast gänzlich zu verschwinden scheint. In einer Zeit der totalen Reizüberflutung gelingt es Girke durch die schweigende Präsenz seiner Arbeiten, den Betrachter in einen Zustand der Konzentration und inneren Ruhe zu führen. Arbeiten dieser bedeutenden Schaffensphase sind unter anderem 1977 auf der Documenta VI in Kassel ausgestellt. ca. 11.27 h +/- 20 Min.ENGLISH VERSIONRaimund Girke 1930 Heinzendorf/Schlesien - 2002 KölnMonochrom. 1968.Oil on canvas. Verso of folded canvas signed, dated and with two arrows indicating the direction. 110 x 110 cm (43,3 x 43,3 in). Diagonal: 156 cm (61,4 in).[EH].PROVENANCE: Private collection Germany. The moulding gestures of the Informel which held way there he found to be subjective and lofty, and he developed continuously from the 1950s onwards an individual, formally reduced style of painting. Girke`s quick success was proven by the awarding of the prize for painting of the city of Wolfsburg in 1959 and the youth art prize in Stuttgart in 1962. Between 1966 and 1971 he taught at the Werkkunstschule in Hanover before following a call to the Hochschule der Künste in Berlin. In the 1960s he further developed his painting and limited the gradation of colors. The earlier arrangement principles of the painting surface, such as parallel layers of color in individual strokes of paint, and mesh-like serial structures, were to become characteristic for his whole oeuvre. During the 1970s Raimund Girke called for the comparison of a total stimulus satiation contra `the quiet reduced objects to lead the viewer back to concentration`. An almost monochrome-white picture design with the finest differentiation in color and light was dominant in this period and experienced in 1977 its purest manifestation in the pictures for documenta 6. The color white became the `Queen of Colors` for Girke. ca. 11.27 h +/- 20 min.

Bernard Aubertin 1934 Fontenay-aux-Roses - lebt und arbeitet in ReutlingenTableau clous. 1970.Objekt. Nägel und rote Acrylfarbe auf Holzplatte. Verso signiert und datiert. 40 x 40 x 4,5 cm (15,7 x 15,7 x 1,7 in). [EH]. Mit einer Fotoexpertise des Künstlers.Der Maler, Medien- und Objektkünstler Bernard Aubertin gilt als einer der wichtigen Vertreter der Künstlergruppe `Zéro`.Zur Welt kommt Bernard Aubertin im Jahr 1934 im französischen Fontenay-aux-Roses. Nach Kriegsende nimmt er ein Studium an der Pariser École des Metiers d`Art und an der dortigen École de Formation des Professeurs de Dessin auf (1950-1953). Bernard Aubertins frühe Gemälde knüpfen an der Vorkriegsavantgarde an: In kubistisch und futuristisch beeinflusstem Stil entstehen insbesondere Landschaften, Bildnisse und Stillleben. Das Jahr 1957 aber bringt den großen Durchbruch in der künstlerischen Entwicklung von Bernard Aubertin: Nun begegnet der junge Maler Yves Klein, dessen ?uvre ihn nachhaltig beeinflusst. Bernard Aubertin wendet sich ab diesem Zeitpunkt von der Figuration ab und sucht stattdessen die Wirkung von reiner Farbe, Licht, Bewegung und abstrakten Strukturen. Eine urtümliche, gleichsam mystische Kraft beherrscht die neuen Arbeiten des jungen Künstlers. Bernard Aubertin widmet sich ab 1958 der Wirkung monochromer Gemälde mit lebendig-pastosen oder sorgfältig geglätteten Oberflächen. Ein kräftiges Rot dominiert diese Werke.Die Kraft des Feuers sieht Bernard Aubertin in der Farbe Rot versinnbildlicht. Der Energiereichtum dieses Elements wird hier noch durch das Splittern und Aufbrechen des Holzes in der Durchdringung der Nägel unterstrichen. Diese urtümliche Agressivität steht höchst spannungsreich neben der seriellen Ordnung der Nagelreihen und der Klarheit der Farbflächen.Seit den späten 1980er Jahren entstehen auch schwarze Bilder. Ab 1960 beginnt Bernard Aubertin die Arbeit an seinen Nagelbildern, die gleichfalls zu einem Leitmotiv innerhalb des Schaffens werden. Bald beginnt auch Feuer den Maler zu reizen. 1961 verwendet Bernard Aubertin dieses Element, das für ihn die Quelle allen Lebens darstellt, erstmals in kinetischen Objekten. Es folgen Werkgruppen wie die angebrannten Bücher (`Livres Brûlés`, ab 1962) oder die rot rauchenden, metallenen `Cages rouges de Fumée`. Brandspuren, Streichhölzer oder Feuerwerksraketen finden sich häufig in den Arbeiten der 1960er Jahre. Werke von Bernard Aubertin werden seit den 1960er Jahren auf internationalen Ausstellungen präsentiert, darunter Schauen in Paris (1972), Florenz (1974), Caracas (1989) oder Mailand (1990). Bernard Aubertin lebt und arbeitet in Paris. ca. 11.32 h +/- 20 Min.ENGLISH VERSIONBernard Aubertin 1934 Fontenay-aux-Roses - lebt und arbeitet in ReutlingenTableau clous. 1970.Object.
