Franz Erhard Walther (1939) - Doppelwortwerk
Doppelwortwerk (1990) by Franz Erhard Walther represents a key example of his conceptual and language-based artistic practice. As one of the most important figures in post-war German art, Walther developed an expanded understanding of sculpture that integrates text, action, and spatial awareness. This serigraph embodies his distinctive approach, where language becomes both medium and meaning.
The composition features a refined interplay between typographic elements and warm, earthy orange colour fields. The printed German text, centred around the word “Füllung” (filling).It suggests instructions, spatial relationships, and temporal dimensions, inviting the viewer into a participatory and interpretative experience,
Visually, the work reflects a minimalist and conceptual aesthetic, placing Walther in dialogue with artists such as Joseph Beuys, Blinky Palermo, Imi Knoebel, Günther Förg, Gotthard Graubner, and Gerhard Richter. Internationally, his work resonates with figures like Sol LeWitt, Lawrence Weiner, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, and Dan Flavin. The use of text also connects his practice to conceptual pioneers such as On Kawara and Jenny Holzer, while the clarity of form recalls elements of concrete art, as seen in Max Bill or Richard Paul Lohse.
