About the Item

A modern lithograph in color on paper titled “Ost-West Transit Series I” by German artist Georg Karl Pfahler. Hand signed in pencil and annotated 45/110 on the verso. Published in 1971. In the early 1960s, Pfahler was the sole representative of “Hard-Edge Painting” in Europe while simultaneously his contemporaries in America (Frank Stella, Ellsworth Kelly, and Kenneth Noland) were also exploring this painting style. The compositions are an investigation of the relationship between color, shape and space which is represented in this composition. Provenance: London Arts Group, Detroit. Dimensions: 27.5”h x 27.5”w (unframed). In very good vintage condition. Full condition reports are available upon request. Georg Karl Pfahler (1926-2002) was a German painter, printmaker and sculptor, and one of the leading proponents of post-war art in Germany. Since 1965 realized numerous architectural projects, which have been a substantial contribution towards the development to art in architecture and public spaces in post-war Germany. Amongst Thomas Lenk, Heinz Mack and Günther Uecker, Pfahler was chosen to provide the German pavilion to the Venice Biennale in 1970 and in 1981 he was chosen to represent German art at the Sao Paulo Biennale. Today Pfahler is represented in several important private and public collections around the world.

Georg Karl Pfahler “untitled” Color silkscreen on wove paper 1989
Located in Münster, DE
Georg Karl Pfahler (1926 - 2002) “untitled” Color silkscreen on wove paper, versa signed, numbered and dated by hand Creation 1989 EX. 23/50 framed behind glass Dimensions: 70 x 70 cm Georg Karl Pfahler is considered the only important representative of the Hard Edge in Germany; he was a guest at the Biennales in Venice and São Paolo, taught in Nuremberg and Salzburg and was awarded numerous prizes. Georg Karl Pfahler was born on October 8, 1926 in Emetzheim, Bavaria. He spent his childhood and youth on his parents' farm, far away from any art. Nevertheless, he loved painting and drawing from an early age and cultivated it intensively as a childhood pastime. However, Georg Karl Pfahler only received the impetus to study art in 1948 when he met students from the Nuremberg Art Academy and accepted their invitation. His parents, good but simple country folk, had no interest in their son's newly awakened passion, and the young man was also met with incomprehension in his home village. However, Georg Karl Pfahler did not let this put him off, but attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg for two years, where he came into contact with original art for the first time and became acquainted with the works of Marc Chagall and Paul Klee. After two semesters, he moved to Stuttgart to study under Willi Baumeister, Gerhard...
