Lampe. 1949.
Oil on canvas.
Signed and dated in the lower left. Signed, dated, titled and inscribed “XIX 9.” on the stretcher. Inscribed “495” by a hand other than that of the artist on the reverse. 59 x 71 cm (23.2 x 27.9 in). [CH].
• The catalogue raisonné mentions this work as the first in the series of the “Fugal Paintings”.
• With this colorful work and the subsequent work group, Nay achieved rhythmic balance between figuration and abstraction, order and movement.
• Formerly part of the collection of the Berlin gallerist Eberhard Seel, 1950-1972 managing director of the Deutscher Künstlerbund, collector and close friend of the artist.
• In 1952 the work was part of the early retrospective at Haus am Waldsee, Berlin.
• The same year he created a color lithograph and a gouache of the same subject, albeit in different colors.
• Early professional highlights: One year before and one year after this work was made, E. W. Nay participated in the Biennale di Venezia (1948 and 1950).
PROVENANCE: Eberhard Seel Collection (1900-1978), Berlin/Cologne (presumably directly from the artist).
Private collection, Cologne (acquired from the above, presumably in 1974, Lempertz, Cologne).
Galerie Orangerie-Reinz, Cologne (1995).
Private collection Hesse (acquired from the above, presumably in 1995).
Ever since family-owned.
