Mennige (Polygon), 1998
From Wall Works
Wall painting in three colour variations (red lead or ferric oxide paint), size variable. Limited to 12 installations, with a signed and numbered certificate (gouache, 100 x 70 cm).
This large-scale wall work edition is part of Imi Knoebel‘s Mennigebilder (or Mennige Bilder), a series of works with irregular polygons resulting from the fusion of rectangular shapes. The title Mennige refers to the anti-rust paint the artist used for his early large-format plywood panels, the first color to enter his oeuvre.
Created for the Wall Works group series, this edition is part of the permanent collection of the Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin.
