Karl Hauptmann
«The Feldberg Painter»
24th April 1880 – 7th April 1947
Karl Hauptmann was born on 25th of April in 1880 in Freiburg i.Br., Germany. He received his artistic training in Nürnberg and Munich and was thereafter engaged as a decorative painter.
In 1908 he produced the first of what were to be his typical Black Forest paintings. In the years between 1915 and 1919, he produced numerous images of the Alpine region he had visited during his deployment with the mountain infantry in the First World War.
In 1918 Karl Hauptmann purchased «Molerhüsli», which for him encompassed his dwelling, atelier, and exhibition space. It soon became a favourite meeting place for skiers, hikers, students, and visitors to Feldberg.
Due to Hauptmann’s ever-present health problems, his doctor prescribed a trip to Italy in 1940, to which he again travelled the following year.
On 7th of April in 1947, Karl Hauptmann died at the age of 67 at his «Molerhüsli».

Kounellis, Jannis
Geb. 1936 Piräus, lebt und arbeitet in Rom.
Untitled (SSZZZ). Ink on wove paper, mounted on cardboard. Verso signed, dated (19)61 and inscribed «Roma». Verso on the back board a label of Richard Gray Gallery, Chicago/New York, with the work's data. Further a label of Acumen Fine Art Logistics Inc., as well as further labels.
From the series «Alphabetic Paintings», created between 1958 and 1966, which became one of the most important group of works within Kounellis' early oeuvre. These artworks, mostly consisting words or signs in wide, stereotyping strokes and lines, are reminding of simultaneous works by Cy Twombly or the letter sequences by Piero Manzoni, and can be considered as a reaction on the parallel created works of Art Informel. They became the roots of a completely new artistic language: the Arte Povera.
Provenance: Richard Gray Gallery, Chicago/New York; private collection.

Aus der Serie der «Alphabet Paintings», die zwischen 1958 und 1966 entstanden und zu einer der wichtigsten Schwerpunkte im Frühwerk von Kounellis wurden. Die Arbeiten dieser Serie, die zeitgleichen Werken Cy Twomblys oder den Buchstabenfolgen Piero Manzonis gleichen, meist Worte oder Zeichen in breiten, schablonenhaften Linienzügen, sind eine Reaktion auf die parallel entstehenden Werke der Art Informel und wurden zum Ursprung einer völlig neuen künstlerischen Formensprache: der Arte Povera.
Provenienz: Richard Gray Gallery, Chicago/New York; Privatsammlung.
