Scalini I. 1985.
Oil on paper (2 parts).

• Following on from the gestural painting of Informel and the formal rigor of Concrete Art, Erben's painting navigates the tension between painterly autonomy and formal order.
• Since 1980, Erben has taught as a professor at the Düsseldorf Art Academy and subsequently in Münster.
• Erben's works are now in numerous public collections, such as the Museum Kunstpalast in Düsseldorf and the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich.

PROVENANCE: Private collection, Southern Germany (from the artist in 1985).

In good condition. Paper evenly and minimally browned, with slight, technically induced greasy edges on the paint. Primarily in the margins, with scattered faint spots or minimal studio marks and creases. In the colored areas, very scattered with minimal crease marks and barely noticeable paint abrasion.
