Sylvia Kellermann

expressive serigraph by Ulrich Erben (b. 1940) titled Exterieur 1990 captures the artist’s signature exploration of spatial colour fields and architectural abstraction. Executed in 1990, this composition juxtaposes rich, textured blacks with vibrant orange passages, conveying a powerful sense of rhythm and tension. The dynamic layering and brushlike marks reflect Erben’s meticulous engagement with surface and structure.

Ulrich Erben is widely recognised as a key figure in post-war German abstract art, especially associated with concrete and minimal painting. His work engages in visual dialogue with artists such as Gotthard Graubner, Günther Förg, Imi Knoebel, and Blinky Palermo, while also resonating with the minimalist tendencies of Ellsworth Kelly, Donald Judd, and Josef Albers. Erben’s visual language bridges the rational and the lyrical, contributing significantly to European abstraction.



Ulrich Erben’s work resonates within a broad network of European abstract and minimalist artists, including Raimund Girke, Jan Schoonhoven, Ad Dekkers, André Volten, Bram Bogart, Karel Appel, Corneille, Constant Nieuwenhuys, Luc Peire, Jef Verheyen, Dan Van Severen, Léon Wuidar, Amédée Cortier, Marc Mendelsohn, François Morellet, Peter Struycken, Toon Verhoef, JCJ Vanderheyden, Ewerdt Hilgemann, Herbert Zangs, Bernd Berner, Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart, Karl Fred Dahmen, Heinz Butz, Klaus Staudt, Günther Uecker, Otto Freundlich, Adolf Luther, Jo Delahaut, and Jannis Kounellis.
