“Inner Conflict”, 1996. Signed A.R. Penck. Acrylic and gouache on paper. 79×105 cm. Provenance: Edition Copenhagen. Acquired at an exhibition here by the present owner. “Having risen to fame during the early '80s, Penck was part of a wave of painters coming out of Germany who received acclaim in New York. His '80s paintings are recognizable for their vibrantly colored, energetically arranged compositions that incorporate what Penck termed Standart, a fake alphabet of sorts that the artist designed. To contemporary eyes, they evoke Keith Haring and Jean-Michel-Basquiat's graffiti-inspired canvases, but Penck himself didn't consider his work to take its cues from street art. Instead, Penck often looked to other art-historical sources, notably prehistoric art and German Expressionist prints.” (Alex Greenbeerg, Artnews, March 5, 2017). This lot is subject to Artist's Royalty . Artist’s Royalty In accordance with Danish copyright law, an additional royalty fee is to be paid for the purchase of works by contemporary Danish artist and some international artists who are either still alive or who have been dead for less than 70 years. × Read more
