AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Thomas Baumgärtel (1960), 5 DM Banana, 2020.
Two-colored stencil graffiti (stencil) on a 5-DM banknote (6.2 x 12.2 cm),
90 copies, signed, numbered and stamped.
Condition: Good condition. The banknote may have minimal rips or creases, as these are used banknotes that circulated in transactions.
Note: Illustrations exemplary – the edition number may vary.
Following Thomas Baumgärtel's first Banana Pochoir in 2002, the 5-DM note appears 18 years later in the 2020 edition. The banknote shows the Brandenburg Gate of Berlin with an "embedded" Musa of the "Banana Sprayer" as stencil graffiti on the back of original, 1991-printed notes with Bettina von Arnims portrait on the front.
Biography
1985 to 1990 studies in Fine Art at the University of Applied Sciences (FH) Cologne as well as until 1995 Psychology at the University of Cologne. Since 1986 the Cologne artist marks art locations in European cities as well as in New York and Moscow under the pseudonym "Banana Sprayer" – to date over 4000. From 1995 he develops the "Banana Pointillism" – painting with small stencil-sprayed bananas on canvas. Actions in public squares with large banana sculptures such as, e.g., "Wir lieben die Hohe Kirche" at the main portal of Cologne Cathedral (1998); since 2002 projects for Berlin: "Wir lieben die Vereinigung" at the Brandenburg Gate.
