ABOUT THE ARTWORK

It was published to commemorate the first centenary of the modern Olympic Games. The selected artists work in a wide variety of movements and styles, from the hyperrealism of Antonio López to the abstraction of Sol Lewitt, including abstract expressionism, the geometrism of Arden Quin, conceptual art, pop art, the new realism of Baldaccini and Rotella, and the new fauvism of Dokoupil, among others. Among the artists represented are creators of great international renown, widely recognised by critics.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Peter Klasen (born 1935) is a German painter associated with the New Realism movement. Born in Lübeck, Germany, he moved to France in the late 1950s, where he became part of the avant-garde scene in Paris. His work is characterized by a focus on industrial and urban imagery, often depicting machines, signage, and fragmented human figures.
Klasen’s paintings combine photorealistic precision with bold compositions, reflecting themes of modernity, technology, and the alienation of contemporary life. He frequently uses elements such as warning signs, metal surfaces, and mechanical forms to create a visual language influenced by both Pop Art and industrial aesthetics.
Among his main achievements is his role in the Nouveau Réalisme movement, contributing to a new way of representing reality in postwar Europe, as well as exhibiting widely in international galleries and museums.
