8285 - Lindenberg, Udo

Lindenberg, Udo Self-Portrait with Ship Black felt-tip pen and (presumably) liqueur on vellum. 2005. 24 x 32 cm. Signed “Udo Lindenberg” in black felt-tip pen in the lower right corner, dated twice, and inscribed in the lower left corner. Self-portrait in profile featuring his signature accessories: a hat and sunglasses. Behind the raised champagne glass, a massive ship cuts across the image. Since the 1990s, rock musician Lindenberg has also made a name for himself as a painter with a style blending cartoon and caricature. With “Likörelle”—a portmanteau of “likör” (liqueur) and “aquarell” (watercolor)—he has invented his very own technique, in which he mixes colorful liqueurs with acrylic paints and applies them to the canvas using watercolor techniques. The composition of the slightly glossy brown paint in this drawing is unclear. – Accompanied by: A signed color offset print by Lindenberg, 2006.
