- Lot Description
Ralf Winkler (alias A. R. Penck) (German, 1939-2017), untitled serigraph, 1970 CE. Numbered 67/250 in pencil on lower left, initialed in pencil on lower right, and stamped "A.R. Penck" in green. A silkscreen print depicting an intriguing scene featuring several russet brown stick figures delineated in his signature neo-primitivist, almost childlike style that was very much inspired by cave paintings and reflected the bitter realities of the Cold War. Penck was widely exhibited and his work has been collected by the Art Institute of Chicago, Centre Pompidou, Harvard Art Museums, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Tate Modern, among other esteemed museums. Size: 12.625" L x 16.625" W (32.1 cm x 42.2 cm)
Ralf Winkler, who was better known as A.R. Penck, claimed that he had never heard of conceptualism at the inception of his 50 year career. Nevertheless, his early Standart body of work, which developed behind the Berlin Wall in isolation during the late sixties, certainly fit the emerging avant-garde Conceptualist profile shared by western contemporaries. Paintings of his Standart series featured a minimalist stick figure motif that became characteristic of his work. Blank-faced and stiff-bodied, as we see in this silkscreen serigraph, Penck's figures were usually depicted with crudely delineated male genitals in an abstract manner.
