Guitar Markus Lüpertz

•A very rare bronze by the artist • A guitar evoking the significant Cubist still lifes of Braque and Picasso • A fascinating sculptural experiment straddling the boundary between painting, relief and sculpture "I approached sculpture like a painter." With his unique bronze sculpture ‘Guitar’, Markus Lüpertz revisits a motif that has featured in his painting since the 1970s. As a classic subject of Cubist still lifes, particularly in the work of Picasso and Braque, the guitar also forms part of a long tradition of artistic experimentation at the intersection of surface and space. Lüpertz continues this exploration in his own distinctive way. His guitar appears like a motif detached from a painting that has suddenly taken on a three-dimensional form. The two-dimensional body of the guitar, the deeply incised lines and the deliberately rough surface preserve the gestural character of his painting. The artist is not interested in a lifelike reproduction of a musical instrument, but rather in the translation of a painterly form into three-dimensional space. The result is an unconventional sculptural experiment on the borderline between painting, relief and sculpture. The bronze impressively demonstrates how closely the two media are intertwined in Lüpertz’s artistic thinking. It is precisely the unusual choice of subject that gives this work a special place within his predominantly figurative sculptural oeuvre. | 1941 Liberec/Tschechien | Zeitgenössische Kunst | Skulptur/Objekt/Multiple | Nummer: 26x2036 | Provenance: Privatsammlung, Süddeutschland, direkt vom Künstler erworben.
