For this series of unique hand-painted editions, Günther Förg split the folded aluminum surface in half and used different combinations of nine colors to create unique two-color paintings. The dichotomy of abstract paintings is an integral part of the formal canon of contemporary artists; Förg consciously adopts this scheme for his painting.
