• Striking work by the famous Austrian artist, who plays with the motif of covering and overlaying in his oeuvre.
• In 1978 and 1980 Arnulf Rainer represented Austria at the Venice Biennial.
• Rainer's works from the 1980s are in numerous important collections, such as the Museum Moderner Kunst, Vienna, the Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt, and the Bavarian State Painting Collections.

We are grateful to the Studio Rainer for the kind expert advice.
