Description from the seller
Rare duo of artworks by the established German contemporary artist Michael Bauch (born 1951) from 1994. They are two independent yet perfectly coordinated works in terms of style and concept, using mixed media / collages on paper. The works come from the same sought-after early 1990s series and bear the backside catalog numbers "No. 32" and "No. 39". Bauch’s pieces impress with their tactile and physical treatment of the support. Both figures display expressive structures, notably sewn and tied with wire or cords. Work 39 also integrates a newspaper collage with historical Fraktur script in the torso area. The artworks are presented uniformly in their original, boldly red wooden frames with a matting. As a complementary pair they form a perfect visual harmony on any wall and are ready to hang immediately.
Provenance:
The works originate from an exhibition at Kiel Town Hall about 25–30 years ago.
An employee of the Town Hall sold the works to private individuals in Kiel.
Today they may become part of this history and delight in these unique works."
