Günther Förg: Retour (English and German Edition)

This volume of over 100 pastels by eminent German painter Gunther Forg is simply breathtaking. The artist presents soft, schematic surfaces upon color field compositions made up of hard lines. When he fixes the sheet and shakes off the residual pigment, it leaves a very fine, scarcely perceptible veil over the work. Thus from time to time the palette of color oscillates from heavy to light via bright and crazy to bulging and full, compelling the observer to flip from page to page, comparing, remembering, seeing in a new way. Gunther Forg's abstraction in its most extreme form captivates every observer's concentration. With a text by Rudi Fuchs.
