20th Century
About the Item
This stunning etching, part I of the Treffpunkt Suite (meaning "meeting point" in German) by esteemed artist Jürgen Görg was realized in Germany during the latter half of the 20th century. Under colorfield blocks of sherbet orange- like a geometric tapestry of clouds- the composition depicts two figures in an intensely rapt and erotically charged meeting. On the left, female form sits on a slatted folding chair in a low cut silk dress with tousled hair and one hand elegantly outstretched behind her. Her other hand holds an oversized venetian mask in front of her face, as one strap from her evening gown slips off her shoulder revealing her collar bone. To her right, a man emerges from an indeterminate space holding an even larger white venetian mask that conceals his face with his hand reaching forward towards this lady's upper thigh.
The nature of their interaction, as well as the setting and identity of these characters remains deeply enigmatic. Are they strangers meeting at a masquerade ball? Lovers involved in some sort of erotic game? The answers to these questions remain elusive, and serve to add intrigue and power to the work. Its masterful handling of the medium and clean modernist lines make this piece a winning acquisition for discerning collectors of first rate modern art as well as those with a penchant for unusual and compelling objects. It would be a winning addition to any style of interior from classic Mid Century Modern to contemporary. It comes presented in a custom gallery frame and is in excellent vintage condition. The work is signed, titled and numbered "52/150".
Jürgen Görg is a German artist best known for his Renaissance-inspired paintings and drawings, often depicting erotic figures rendered with graceful lines and anatomical accuracy. Influenced by the synesthetic qualities of Kandinksy, Görg's work is very much influenced by music. The lyrical forms in his work seek to translate the mellifluous qualities of music into visual forms. Born in 1951 in Dernbach, Germany, studied visual arts at Johannes-Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany. His work can be found in celebrated institutional and private collections throughout the world.

- Abstract Modernist Art Brut Expressionistic Etching by Gianfranco AsveriLocated in New York, NYThis sophisticated etching on paper was realized by the self-taught outsider artist Gianfranco Asveri (b. 1948), in the latter half of the 20th Century. Rendered in an Art Brut style, the composition offers a cluster of four rectangular planes- like little vignettes- each inscribed with their own scene. Predominantly abstract- but leaving plenty of room for interpretation- these rhombus forms offer miniature worlds within teeming with what appear to be loosely rendered figures, rolling hills and stylized clouds. These figurative elements are created with frenetic and energized strokes- full of verve and dynamism- and largely in black pigment against a warm off white paper. The most clearly articulated figurative element appears in the bottom right rectangular pane of the composition. A person in a dress or frock with elementally drawn, stick- figure like arms extended outwards, whose body is turned sideways (captured in flight as a phantasmagoric figure perhaps). A solid hourglass block of umber pigment and a chalky olive green represent the only chromatic accents, offering a restrained contrast to the monochromatic dominance of the piece. Reminiscent of the work of Lee Lozano...Category

Given the artist's importance and placement within esteemed collections (private and institutional), this piece represents a winning acquisition for collectors of first rate modern art as well as exquisite objects. It comes presented in a custom gilded gallery frame and is in excellent vintage condition. Troy Sylvanus Kinney (December 1, 1871 – January 29, 1938) was an American artist, best known for his compelling works portraying dance performers, fanciful subjects, and classically styled nudes.
