Hermann Glöckner

Räumliche Faltung, schwarzweiß vor violett
1967-1969

Plate. Coloured paper and varnish on card 29.4 x 21.1 cm Monogrammed, dated, and negative number 'G 1967-69 6/6' (embossed) verso. One of a total of 8 unique works. - Lower edge slightly bumped.

The composition of a folding of two coloured surfaces on a likewise coloured ground can often be found in Hermann Glöckner's plates and probably goes back to older sculptural designs. For the "Freundschaftstafel" the artist initially planned an edition of six copies, some of which he executed in contrasting colours. Glöckner donated them to artist friends such as Gerhard Altenbourg, but also to the catalogue author Werner Schmidt or to the significant collector Renate Glück. According to the catalogue raisonné, eight plates, some numbered, some unnumbered, have become known so far, which due to individual deviations can definitely be considered unique (cf. Christian Dittrich/Rudolf Mayer/Werner Schmidt, Hermann Glöckner. The plates 1919-1985, Monographie und Werkverzeichnis, Dresden/Stuttgart 1992, p. 324).
