Figures – alter egos of the painter – in constructed contours of the robust working man (with a round road roller as in “The Earth is a round road roller” and a propeller from human legs) and details of the post-industrial depression. The colors of the early work are thin and spared. Condition: The painting is in very good condition. The canvas is mounted on the reverse at the upper edge reversibly under a mat and framed. The dimensions of the canvas are 72.5 x 95.2 cm and the frame measures 100.5 x 122 cm. Neo Rauch (b. 1960) Neo Rauch is one of the most important German painters of his generation and is considered as the precursor of the ‘Neue Leipziger Schule’. In the 1980s, he studied at the Leipziger Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst; here, he was the student and later assistant of Arno Rink and became the master student of Berhard Heisig. Neo Rauch’s style shows a close proximity to the Socialist realism, but also influences of Pop Art and Comic. Conceptually, he rather follows the surrealism. Since 1997, his works are regularly exhibited; e.g. in a retrospective at the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg (2006) and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (2007). Neo Rauch received many prizes and honors and supported young talents as professor. His works reach record prices at international auctions and are collected by private and public institutions, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich. His studio is located at the ‘Leipziger Baumwollspinnerei‘. (tm) Shipping costs excl. statutory VAT and plus 2,5% (+VAT) shipping insurance.
