"Imi Knoebel is one of the most radical and consistent abstract artists of the present day [..] in his work, radicalism and consistency come together to form a balanced unity that he constantly puts to the test."
Zdenek Felix, quoted from: Imi Knoebel. Retrospektive 1968-1996, ex. cat. Haus der Kunst, Munich 1996, pp. 291f.

In very fine condition. Only the corners and edges with very few, very faint fingerprints, but not detracting from the extremely beautiful overall impression.

The condition report was prepared to the best of our knowledge and belief in daylight and with the aid of a UV light source. [JS]
