Henning Strassburger (b. 1983) – “Ball Slapper” (2014) Medium: Oil, charcoal, and lacquer on canvas Dimensions: 185 × 155 cm Condition: Excellent This striking abstract work, titled “Ball Slapper,” is an original piece by Berlin-based artist Henning Strassburger, widely recognized as one of the leading voices of his generation in contemporary abstract painting. Created in 2014, the piece reflects Strassburger’s signature style — combining gestural brushstrokes, graphic elements, and layered textures to challenge the viewer’s perception of form and space. The composition juxtaposes expressive splashes of color with linear charcoal elements, creating a sense of movement and tension. Provenance: Purchased in 2015 directly from the artist’s solo exhibition “Pool” at Sies + Höke Gallery in Düsseldorf, Germany. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a museum-quality work by an internationally exhibited artist whose works are held in numerous private and institutional collections.
