GEORG KARL PFAHLER (1926 – 2002) German painter, printmaker and sculptor, and one of the leading proponents of post-war art in Germany. Rising to prominence in the early 1960s as one of the first hard edge painters in Europe, known for his vibrant and colorful works, Georg Karl Pfahler was an internationally recognized artist who represented Germany at the Venice Biennale in 1970 alongside Günther Uecker, Heinz Mack, and Thomas Lenk; and at the São Paulo Biennale in 1981. Influenced by the tradition of European art informel, he quickly simplified his paintings to adopt an innovative abstract geometric painting style, with block-like forms on crisp backgrounds—styles that his American contemporaries like Frank Stella, Ellsworth Kelly, Kenneth Noland, and Leon Polk Smith, among others, explored as well.

Georg Karl Pfahler
Georg Karl Pfahler (1926–2002) was a pioneering German artist renowned for his contributions to Hard-Edge painting and Color Field movements. Born in Emetzheim, Germany, he studied under Willi Baumeister at the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart, graduating in 1954. Initially influenced by Art Informel, Pfahler's work evolved in the early 1960s towards sharply defined geometric forms and vibrant color contrasts, establishing him as a leading figure in European abstract art. His dedication to exploring the interplay between color, shape, and space distinguished his artistic approach.
Pfahler's international acclaim includes representing Germany at the 35th Venice Biennale in 1970 alongside artists like Günther Uecker and Heinz Mack, and participating in the 16th São Paulo Biennial in 1981. His works have been exhibited globally, with notable retrospectives such as "Color and Space" at QG Gallery in Brussels in 2019. Beyond painting, Pfahler contributed to architectural projects, integrating art into public spaces in post-war Germany. He also held teaching positions, including a tenure at the Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg from 1984 to 1992, influencing a new generation of artists.

Allan D'Arcangelo
Paris Review, 1964-5
Silkscreen
32 × 26 inches
Signed and numbered from the limited Edition of 150
pencil signed, numbered and dated on the front
Unframed
Published by the Paris Review, Printed by Steven Poleskie at Chiron Press, New York
Allan D'Arcangelo created this work in 1964 as a benefit print for the eponymous Paris Review magazine which invited some of the most famous artists of the era to contribute. Over the next decade, D'Arcangelo would continue to receive significant recognition in the art world - exhibiting at Fischbach and then Marlborough Galleries in Manhattan. He was well known for his paintings of the iconic American highway, along with his depictions of desolate, industrial landscapes. In her essay "Ghost on the Highway: Allan D'arcangelo's Haunting Americana", Alice Bucknell writes, "A born-and-bred New Yorker, D’Arcangelo spent his due time trawling through the Bible Belt of the Deep South and the dizzying expanse of the Southwest desert as well as the more expected outposts of New York and L.A. Taking a particular favor to the way acrylic interacts with light — how it avoids the glistening sheen of oil, and how the flatness of the medium masks the presence of the artist’s hand — D’Arcangelo teases out complex ideas of the highway’s reality and representation, its rampant commercialization and maddening isolation, as well as escapism and entrapment as two split personalities of American infrastructure space through his signature flattening one-point perspective. “My most profound experiences of landscape were looking through the windshield,” D’Arcangelo explained to Marco Livingstone in the spring of 1988 while the two drove from New York City to the artist’s studio in upstate New York: an idiosyncratic interview included in the exhibition catalogue. “The sky, the tree line and the pavement all have the same quality, and it has to do with our separation from the natural world.” Far from the sugar...
