Thomas Lange (1957) - Kußversteck - Video Kuß & Auto (2)

Thomas Lange (born 1957, Berlin)
Two works: “Kußversteck – Video Kuß” and “Auto – Individualverkehr – Unfall”
Pencil drawing and mixed media on sturdy drawing paper, 1987/88

Two works by the Berlin artist Thomas Lange are offered. Both sheets originate from the years 1987/88 and combine fine pencil drawing with painterly or collagelike elements of mixed media.

The first work is titled “Kußversteck – Video Kuß.” On the front, there is a drawing-like, scenographic composition with a hinted screen or video device and two heads. According to the label on the reverse, another, fully worked and titled drawing on the subject is located verso.

The second work is titled “Auto – Individualverkehr – Unfall.” The composition shows a sketched automotive motif with figure elements, combined with dark spray or wash techniques and brown lavured areas. The work appears thematically typical of a critical engagement with technology, mobility and urban present of the late 1980s.

Both works are signed, dated and titled.
Provenance according to the label: Galerie Hermeyer, Munich / Estate.
