59 - HARTWIG EBERSBACH

HARTWIG EBERSBACH (born 1940 in Zwickau, based in Leipzig) Doppel, 1987 Oil on hardboard. 126 x 83.5 cm. Framed with artist’s molding. Monogrammed and dated (19)87 at the center bottom. Titled on the reverse, with location and two labels. Provenance: Private collection, Hesse The “Doppel” of the title does not appear here as two people, but rather as an intertwining from which both faces emerge simultaneously and then recede back into the same color. Ebersbach captures the moment in which the other and one’s own self can no longer be separated—the encounter with the self as a process within the color, not as an image of two figures.
