• Lot Description
  JIRI GEORG DOKOUPIL (Czech Republic, 1954). Untitled, 1992, from the "Suite Olympic Centennial". Lithograph on 270 grams Vélin d'Arches paper, copy 203/250. Signed and justified by him. Measurements: 90 x 63 cm. The Olympic Suite is composed of 50 lithographs and serigraphs chosen to represent various contemporary artistic trends. It was published to commemorate the first centenary of modern Olympism. The artists chosen work in very diverse movements and styles, from the hyperrealism of Antonio López to the abstraction of Sol Lewitt, including abstract expressionism, the geometrism of Arden Quin, conceptual art, pop art, the new realism of Baldaccini and Rotella, and the new fauvism of Dokoupil, among others. Among the artists represented there are creators of great international renown, widely recognised by the critics. Jiri Georg Dokoupil, a German artist, studied fine art in Cologne, Frankfurt am Main and New York. A member of the German neo-expressionist group "Mülheimer Freiheit", his artistic proposals enjoyed great success during the 1980s, coinciding with the debate raised by postmodern art. Dokoupil has worked as a teacher at art academies in Düsseldorf and Madrid, where he directed the Taller de Arte Actual del Círculo de Bellas Artes. Dokoupil's work is difficult to classify, and often resorts to a free mix of both technique and style. He is currently represented at the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin, the Nenes Museum in Weimar, the Musée National Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Boymans van Beuningen in Rotterdam, among others.
