Ohne Titel. 1990.
Mixed media. Collaged paper, newsprint and postcard on canvas.
Upper center signed and dated. Once more signed and dated on the reverse. 140 x 110 cm (55.1 x 43.3 in). [AW].

• Middendorf works on the canvas with vehement gestures, a varied combination of materials and dark colors.
• A vivid example of the "violent painting style" of the "Young Wild Artists".
• The collaged motifs appear as a mind map of art-historical allusions and associations with Stone Age cave paintings, ancient Roman portraits, early Christian motifs and punk graffiti.

We are grateful to Helmut Middendorf for his kind support in cataloging this lot.
