Imi Knoebel’s edition Tür und Tor [Door and Gate] unfolds as a rigorously composed sequence of three prints, in which two rectangular forms—A and B—appear in varying arrangements. The series follows a reduced logic: first in the combination A+B, then A in isolation, and finally B. This principle of alternating presence and absence creates a subtle play of positive and negative forms that challenges the boundaries between figure and ground.
