About the artwork
Discharges emerge from a yellow energy core with a turquoise corona, reflected in black and red traces of colour. A snapshot that freezes the moment and at the same time is an ongoing processual movement. In this way, time itself is represented as a perpetual moment, which further enhances the dynamics of the image.
The synthetic resin used creates a glossy surface that literally seals the motif within itself. As a result, it does not appear to have been made by an artist's hand, but as something autonomous, fixed by a quasi-scientific process. The flow of the synthetic resin, which is reflected in the motif, also contributes to the effect of independence: The energetic discharges have found their adequate visible form in the flowing movements of the material. We seem to be witnessing an event in the atomic or subatomic world, which becomes present in the event of form and colour. Thus, the abstract art before our eyes is by no means purely abstract, but has a representational connotation and is a rare pictorial example of the Space Age.
About the artist
Born in Berlin, Klaus Oldenburg studied at the State School of Civil Engineering in Berlin from 1961 to 1964 and then worked as a civil engineer and architect until 1967. From 1967 to 1968 he ran the jazz club and artists' meeting place "Kilroy" in Berlin-Wilmersdorf, and then devoted himself entirely to art as a freelance painter. From 1968 to 1972 he had a studio in Berlin-Kreuzberg and from 1972 in Berlin-Friedenau. Since 1972, Oldenburg, who belonged to the Kreuzberg Bohemians, has shown his work at the Free Berlin Art Exhibition.
GERMAN VERSION
Klaus Oldenburg (*1942 Berlin), Exzentrische Entladungen eines türkis-gelben Kerns, um 1975. Farbe und Gießharz auf Spanplatte, 39 x 59 cm (Innenmaß), 42 x 62 (Rahmen), unsigniert.

zum Kunstwerk
Aus einem gelben Energiekern mit türkiser Corona emergieren Entladungen, die sich in schwarz-roten Farbspuren niederschlagen. Eine Momentaufnahme, die den Augenblick fixiert und zugleich ein fortwährender prozessualer Bewegungsablauf ist. Auf diese Weise wird die Zeit selbst als ein sich perpetuierender Augenblick zur Darstellung gebracht, was die Dynamik des Bildes zusätzlich steigert.
Das verwendete Kunstharz erzeugt eine glänzende Oberfläche, die das Motiv förmlich in sich selbst versiegelt. Dadurch wirkt es nicht wie von Künstlerhand verfertigt, sondern als etwas Autonomes, das durch ein gleichsam wissenschaftliches Verfahren fixiert worden wäre. Zur Eigenständigkeitswirkung trägt auch der sich in der Motivik niederschlagende Fluss des Kunstharzes bei: Die energetischen Entladungen haben in den Fließbewegungen des Materials ihre adäquate sichtbare Form gefunden. Wir scheinen einem Geschehen der atomaren oder subatomaren Welt beizuwohnen, das in dem Form- und Farbereignis präsent wird. Damit ist die vor Augen stehende abstrakte Kunst keineswegs rein abstrakt, sondern gegenständlich konnotiert und ein rares malerisches Beispiel für die Epoche des Space Age.

- Ballerina in the dressing roomLocated in Berlin, DEKarl Stohner (1894 Mannheim - 1957 Paris), Ballerina in the dressing room, 1924. Pastel on painting cardboard, 65 x 45 cm, 77,5 x 59,5 (frame), signed lower left "Stohner" and dated "[19]24". Behind glass in gold stucco frame of the time. - Painting cardboard slightly warped, in the lower area minimally stained, frame with age patina and traces of abrasion. - The Naturalness of Artificiality - We see a ballerina putting on her right ballet shoe while the left one is still lying on the floor in front of her. It is precisely the casualness of the scene that gives it its intimacy: the blonde young woman is completely absorbed in the activity of getting ready for the dance, oblivious to us, while we are positioned right in front of her in the dressing room, inaccessible to the audience, watching her dress. Even though she does not yet perform a dance step, there is a graceful elegance in the action shown that seems quite natural in contrast to the rehearsed art form of dance. The young woman is not presenting herself to an audience in a perfectly formed movement, but is performing an everyday action, unaware that she is being watched. Concentrated, almost devotional, she pulls the ballet slipper over the verses, not noticing that one of the straps of the tutu has slipped off her shoulder, reinforcing the erotic moment of the scene. Inspired by Edgar Degas, Karl Stohner has painted the scene in strong pastel tones. The dominant blues and turquoises give the scene a magical, mysterious quality and, like the pink of the stockings and ballet slippers, are borrowed from Degas's dancers. Degas's colors, however, are cooler tempered, which is particularly evident in the light impasto applied incarnate. This is where the vividness of Auguste Renoir comes into play, making the dancer seem entirely flesh and blood. Karl Stohner, who has studied the pastels of Degas and Renoir intensively, combines the two artists here to create his own pictorial language. He has laid out the background in broad layers of strokes, ranging in color from white to turquoise to dark blue. The result is a dynamic, pattern-like structure that contrasts with the woman's calm, inward-looking posture. The fund anticipates the dynamics of the choreography of the dance for which the ballerina is preparing. At the same time, the broad pastel line in the background is an adequate means of painting to depict the soft, flowing elegance of the dancer. About the artist Against the wishes of his wealthy parents, Karl Stohner decided to become a painter. His talent was discovered by the director of the Mannheim Art Gallery, Fritz Wichert, who supported him from then on, including financing study trips to Paris. There he discovered the art of Degas, Cézanne and Renoir, which inspired his work. GERMAN VERSION Karl Stohner (1894 Mannheim - 1957 Paris), Ballerina im Ankleideraum, 1924.
