About the Item

Markus Lüpertz was born in Reichenberg in 1941 and works as a German painter, graphic artist and sculptor. He lives and works in Berlin, Karlsruhe, Düsseldorf and Florence and has his studio in Teltow. He completed his artistic training at the Werkkunstschule in Krefeld with Laurens Goosens between 1956 and 1961. During his studies he worked in mining and road construction. He studied for one semester at the Art Academy in Düsseldorf. From 1961 he worked as a freelance artist in Düsseldorf. Markus Lüpertz is one of the representatives of German neo-expressionism. Initially he painted representational motifs in an expressive style and created powerful and monumental representations. Painting is his central area of creativity, in that from 1960 he introduced abstraction into his representational painting. Around 1970 he produced works with predominantly German themes, which testify to monumentality, earthy colors and a free brushstroke. Later on, Lüpertz dealt with cubist painting, among other things, and produced larger-than-life bronze sculptures, which called into question the classic ideals of beauty and mythological figures. Spatiality and objectivity come to the fore again and works are created that testify to a desired artificiality. From 1997 onwards Lüpertz mainly created landscape paintings. The picture surface is created by patches of color and grids and the landscape is rendered naturalistically. His connections to antiquity and renaissance, to humans and nature are shown repeatedly in his artistic works.

Jünglinge / Youths

By Franz Rogler

Located in Wien, 9

Franz Rogler (1921 -1994) studied wood and stone sculpture with Wilhelm Gösser at the Graz School of Applied Arts and attended the master class for painting with Rudolf Szyszkowitz. During his studies he was drafted for military service and, together with fellow artist Hans Fronius, was deployed as a war painter in Austria, Germany, Italy, the former Yugoslavia, Greece and Russia. During this time he completed studies at the Academy in Zagreb and organised exhibitions in Austria. In 1944 he deserted and managed to escape to Switzerland, where he settled in Basel after his internment and came into contact with the Swiss Surrealists of "Group 33" and with the artists Hans Arp, Max Ernst and Meret Oppenheim through his friend Regula Weilenmann. After the end of the war, he studied at the Basel Art School with Walter Bodmer and Heinrich Müller, which introduced him to Constructivist art. In 1947 Rogler returned to Graz and became a member of the Graz Secession. From 1948 to 1950 he studied at the Vienna Academy with Albert Paris Gütersloh, before returning to Graz as a freelance artist in 1950. In 1953 he received the Art Prize of the City of Graz and his works were published in the first issue of the "Surrealist Publications" edited by Edgar Jené and Paul Celan...

Head #1627- Geneviève Seillé, 21st Century, Outsider art, Figurative art

By Geneviève Seillé

Located in Paris, FR

Graphite and coloured pencil on paper Signed, dated and entitled on the back Unique work In Geneviève Seillé’s works, the word reigns in master. It fascinates her for its own appearance and becomes an esthetic entity in itself. When she was a child, she experienced an intense pleasure to hear the sound of the nib filled with ink on the paper. Later, she tried to experience this feeling again while creating. Since 1995, she started inventing her own words and was led by her mental fascinations. Lines and colours melt symmetrically and repeatedly. She leaves no place for emptiness. In the mysterious zone of creation, full of improvisations and chaos, she entirely fills the space with all sorts of signs and collages and it all harmonizes in the end. She offers a vision of creatures, invented anatomies and words that fit together and show a new way of seeing, fascinating and dizzying. Geneviève Seillé was born in France in 1951. From 1970 to 1977, she taught in primary and secondary schools in France and England. In 1981, she graduated in Fine Art (BA) at Wolverhampton Polytechnic. From 1979 to 1988, she worked on performances as Le Banquet & Le Jardinier...
