About the Item
Markus Lüpertz’s “Monkey” (1988) is a bold and expressive etching that exemplifies the artist’s signature approach to abstraction and figuration. This work, part of a limited edition of 25, with this particular piece being numbered 7 of 25, is in excellent condition. Measuring 25.5 x 22 inches (64.8 x 55.9 cm), the etching is a striking example of Lüpertz’s ability to convey raw emotion and energy through minimalistic yet powerful imagery.
The composition features a simplified, almost primal representation of a monkey, rendered in thick, textured lines that dominate the white space of the paper. The stark black of the figure against the white background creates a dramatic contrast, emphasizing the boldness of the form. Lüpertz’s work often explores themes of identity and existence, and this piece, with its primitive figure, invites contemplation on the nature of humanity and its connection to the animal world.
As part of the Disney Contemporary Resort Collection, “Monkey” carries a unique provenance. The Disney Contemporary Resort is known for its commitment to showcasing thought-provoking and innovative contemporary art, making this piece a fitting addition to its collection. The resort’s focus on artworks that challenge and inspire viewers is perfectly embodied in Lüpertz’s work.
For collectors and admirers of contemporary art, “Monkey” by Markus Lüpertz offers an opportunity to own a work by one of the most influential figures in post-war German art. The piece’s limited edition status, combined with its connection to the Disney Contemporary Resort, enhances its value as a collectible. Whether displayed in a private collection or a public setting, this etching will undoubtedly captivate viewers with its raw energy and evocative simplicity, serving as a testament to Lüpertz’s enduring impact on the art world.

Markus Lüpertz
Markus Lüpertz (b. 1941, Liberec, Czechoslovakia) is a German painter, sculptor, and printmaker known for his association with Neo-Expressionism and post-war German art. He emerged as a key figure during the 1960s and 70s, developing a bold, expressive style marked by gestural abstraction, vivid colors, and symbolic, often mythological, imagery. Lüpertz’s work often reflects themes of history, identity, and the re-examination of German cultural motifs, blending figurative and abstract elements. His influence spans painting, large-scale sculpture, and printmaking, with many of his works characterized by their raw, painterly energy and historical references. Lüpertz remains an important figure in contemporary European art, contributing to the revival of figurative painting in the post-war era.

By Otto Neumann
Located in New Orleans, LA
Otto Neumann (1895-1975) was a German Expressionist painter and printmaker. His monotypes evolved from sharp, angular, black and whites to late abstract prints in a variety of colors. Neumann lived through revolutionary changes in the art world of prewar and postwar Germany.

His early work shows the influence of both French masters like Cezanne and the contemporary style that was then being developed by German Expressionists like Kirchner. A master printmaker, Neumann was also inspired by the works of Albrecht Durer, whose allegorical subject-matter and unmatched drawing technique Neumann would emulate throughout his career.
