Tempera on copper on panel. 40.3 x 29.5 x 2.3 cm. Signed and numbered on edition label verso. Numbered - The edition was published on the occasion of the exhibition "Günther Förg. To the builders" // Mr. Brown by Günther Förg, created in 2002, is a mixed media work that combines tempera on copper, set against a dark brown panel. The composition showcases two elongated, organic shapes in a warm, copper tone, creating a striking contrast with the rich, deep brown background. The metallic sheen of the copper elements interacts with light, giving the forms a sense of dimensionality and subtle shifts in texture. Förg's minimalist approach emphasizes materiality and the interaction of light and shadow, inviting viewers to explore the tactile and visual properties of the composition. This piece exemplifies Förg’s signature exploration of abstraction and simplicity, using minimal elements to create depth and visual intrigue.

What is minimalism?
Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
