Herkenrath, Peter Red Chairs Red chalk over embossed print on vellum. 53 x 52 cm. Signed "Herkenrath" in pencil at the bottom left. An unusual combination of chalk drawing and embossed print. Chairs are among Herkenrath’s favorite motifs, which he returned to time and again. Within the German Informel movement of the 1950s and 1960s, the artist occupies a unique position. Moving from representational and post-Cubist painting of the 1930s, he turned to abstract painting in the mid-1940s. In 1945, Peter Herkenrath founded the “Rheinische Künstlergemeinschaft Köln” (Cologne Rhenish Artists’ Association). From 1952 to 1955, he served as chairman of the “Neue Rheinische Sezession” (New Rhenish Secession). Provenance: Private collection, North Rhine-Westphalia - Please request condition reports for the lots, as the condition is listed in the catalog only in exceptional cases. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalog.
