Table Tableau, 2025

This group edition examines the close relationship between table and tableau and refers to the historical tradition of painting on wooden panels, which preceded painting on canvas. By emphasizing the wooden panel as a shared point of departure, the project highlights how strongly the tabletop and the pictorial surface are linked, both historically and linguistically.

Six works move freely between both states: they can be presented as wall pieces or used as tabletops.

Three works, by contrast, are conceived exclusively as tabletops and emphasize their functional orientation.

Four additional works are intended solely for the wall, including a wall installation, a canvas painting, and a silkscreen print on paper.

All works measure approx. 90 × 200 cm.

Edition sizes vary; each work is signed and numbered by certificate, label, or both – with the exception of the tabletop licensed by the Keith Haring Foundation.

Untitled (Thonet)

2019/2025

From Table Tableau
Acrylic paint on canvas, 200 × 90 x 4 cm (79 x 35.4 x 1.6 in). Edition of 5 painted in acrylic in white on gold and 5 painted in gold on white, signed and numbered on accompanying artist's certificate.
EUR 15,000

This unique edition by John Armleder reduces painting to a simple yet striking system of dots, executed in two complementary variations: white on gold and gold on white. The work resonates with the legacies of Minimalism and geometric abstraction while at the same time playing with notions of decoration, taste, and seriality – central concerns throughout Armleder’s practice. As with much of his oeuvre, the surface seduces with clarity and elegance, yet beneath lies a subtle questioning of how we see, value, and display art.

Untitled (Thonet)

2021/2025

From Table Tableau
Laminate (HPL) on wooden board (black on white or white on black), 200 x 90 x 4 cm, to be used as a table top on trestles or hung on a wall in horizontal or vertical orientation. Edition of 30 + 3 A.P., with a signature label affixed verso and a signed and numbered artist’s certificate.

For this contribution to the group edition project Table Tableau, John Armleder translates his iconic dot paintings into a new material and chromatic register. Rendered in black on white or white on black laminate, the work preserves the strict seriality and visual rhythm of the white-gold canvases while emphasizing surface, reflection, and material precision. By shifting from hand-painted gesture to industrial production, Armleder highlights the interplay between uniqueness and reproducibility – a recurring theme in his practice – and once again invites reflection on the boundaries between art, design, and decoration.

Serpentine Table

2021/2025

From Table Tableau
Laminate (HPL) on wooden board (in mauve pink or gray), 90 x 200 x 4 cm, to be used as a table top on trestles or hung on a wall in horizontal orientation. Edition of 30 + 3 A.P., with a signature label affixed verso and a signed and numbered artist’s certificate.

With this edition, Serpentine Table, Peter Halley translates his distinctive geometric language into a functional object that can also exist as a work of art. The composition of interlocking rectangular bands recalls the conduits and cells that define Halley’s visual vocabulary. Whether positioned on trestles or mounted on the wall, the work exemplifies Halley’s ongoing dialogue between structure and system, surface and meaning, and between the aesthetic and the everyday.

Table Top

2019/2025

From Table Tableau
Laminate (HPL) on wooden board, 90 x 200 x 4 cm, to be used as a table top on trestles. In black on white or white on black. After a painting by Keith Haring, licensed © 2019 by the Keith Haring Foundation. Edition unsigned and unlimited, numbered on the accompanying publisher’s certificate. 

Transforming one of Haring’s dynamic compositions into a functional surface, this table top captures the artist’s signature rhythm of interlocking lines and figures. The bold graphic pattern, rendered in contrasting black and white, brings Haring’s visual energy into an everyday object, merging art, design, and utility in the spirit of his democratic approach to creativity.

Fold

2024/2025

From Table Tableau
Laminate (HPL) on wooden board, 90 x 200 x 4 cm, to be placed on trestles or hung horizontally on the wall. Edition of 30 + 6 A.P., signed and numbered on label affixed verso.

For this edition, Anish Kapoor translated one of his signature “fold” motifs into a new, functional format: both a tabletop and a wall-based artwork. The luminous field of color, shifting from radiant yellow to deep red, seems to open inward – suggesting depth and space within the surface itself. Whether mounted on the wall or placed on trestles, the piece embodies Kapoor’s ongoing exploration of perception, materiality, and the tension between interior and exterior, object and image.

‘Table, Tabula’ [Table Format]

2019/2025

From Table Tableau
Laminate (HPL) on wooden board, 90 x 200 x 4 cm, to be hung horizontally on the wall. Edition of 15 + 2 A.P., signed and numbered on the accompanying artist’s certificate.

With his edition for Table Tableau, Joseph Kosuth returns to his long-standing engagement with language and meaning. The work recalls his seminal One and Three series, in which an object is presented alongside its photograph and dictionary definition. Here, the wall artwork shows the definition of the word table, overlaid with a photograph of the corresponding tabletop. The table and the picture of the table thus mirror each other: one as object, the other as concept. Through this pairing, Kosuth translates his inquiry into the nature of representation into a literal form – an artwork that is at once about, and itself, a table.

‘Table, Tabula’ [Tabletop Only Format]

2019/2025

From Table Tableau
Laminate (HPL) on wooden board, 90 x 200 x 4 cm, to be placed on trestles (model as illustrated). Edition of 15 + 2 A.P., signed and numbered on the accompanying artist’s certificate. 

The table top version of Joseph Kosuth's edition ‘Table, Tabula’ translates his linguistic investigation into functional form. Here, the dictionary definition of the word table becomes the surface of an actual table, merging language, object, and use. In contrast to the wall-based artwork, the absence of the central photograph intensifies the self-referential play between word and thing, concept and material presence.

Aggressivity and Thinking

2021/2025

From Table Tableau
Silkscreen of six colors and varnish on Somerset Tub 410 gsm paper, 200 x 90 cm. Edition of 15 + 3 A.P., signed and numbered on label verso.

Sarah Morris’ edition Aggressivity and Thinking belongs to her ongoing Sound Graphs series, in which audio snippets are translated into bands and dots of vivid color. The resulting composition – in this case based on the spectrogram of a conversation – oscillates between structure and rhythm, evoking both visual abstraction and auditory experience. The work flirts with the languages of American abstraction, Minimalism, and Pop Art, transforming sound into a static yet optically dynamic image – one that, as the artist notes, “the eye makes move.”

Not always but better

2021/2025

From Table Tableau
Laminate (HPL) on wooden board, 90 x 200 x 4 cm, to be used as a table top on trestles or hung on a wall. Edition of 30 + 3 A.P., with a signature label affixed verso and a signed and numbered artist’s certificate.

Tobias Rehberger’s edition Not always but better transforms a vivid, pulsating pattern into both a table top and a wall-based artwork. Characteristic of his practice, the work explores perception and visual disorientation through the use of repeating geometric motifs and contrasting colors. Whether mounted on the wall or placed on trestles, it challenges the viewer’s sense of stability and space – an optical field that seems to shift and vibrate, turning function itself into a perceptual experience.

Zycle (Thonet)

2021/2025

From Table Tableau
Laminate (HPL) on wooden board, 90 x 200 x 4 cm, to be used as a table top on trestles or hung on a wall. Two color versions: black on white or white on black. Total edition of 40 + 4 A.P., with a signature label affixed verso and a signed and numbered artist’s certificate.

Part of Thomas Ruff's zycles series, this edition transforms one of his computer-generated line compositions (based on illustrations of magnetism) into both a table top and a wall-based artwork. The work traces dynamic curves and intersections that suggest movement through an abstract, three-dimensional space. Executed in two inverse color versions, zycles reflects Ruff’s ongoing exploration of the relationship between technology, image construction, and perception – translating digital precision into a tangible, functional form.

DINING Table

2021/2025

From Table Tableau
Laminate (HPL) on wooden board, 90 x 200 x 4 cm, to be used as a table top on blue trestles (model as illustrated) or hung on a wall in horizontal orientation. Edition of 30 + 3 A.P., with a signed and numbered artist’s certificate.

In DINING Table, Rosemarie Trockel transforms the table top into a surface for planning and designing. Metric and imperial units of measurement become the subject of the image, their precise grids translated into a visual composition that also invites practical use. The title’s first three letters, “DIN”, refer to the German Institute for Standardization (Deutsches Institut für Normung), linking the work’s functional and conceptual dimensions. With this, Trockel turns a system of order into an aesthetic field – a table that measures, plans, and reflects its own purpose.
