AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The image is clearly signed with "ALEX 91" (centrally under the fish). This dates the work precisely to the year 1991.
• Provenance: The language of the text fragments in the image (e.g., "The word", "Hoff[nung]") strongly suggests a German-speaking region (Germany or Austria). The style is reminiscent of the New Wild, an art movement that was very popular in Central Europe at that time.
• Condition: * Front: The condition appears good for its age. The impasto layer shows character, but there are no obvious large-scale flakings.
• Back: The canvas is stretched on a simple stretcher. Interestingly, the canvas seems to be composed of several horizontal strips or applied onto a rough texture, which gives the work additional material depth. The staples look newer, which could indicate a later re-stretching.
• Motif & technique: It is a mixed media on canvas. Depicted are stylized fish, surrounded by yellow and red, almost glove-like shapes. The incorporated words give the image a conceptual level. Size: At 60 cm x 76 cm, the painting has an attractive middle format that sells well.
