Gotthard Graubner: Painting

This publication celebrates the eightieth birthday of German painter Gotthard Graubner (born 1930), spanning his work from the 1950s to the present. Devoid of figuration or metaphoric allusions, the artist's Farbraumkörper or "color-space-bodies" evolve entirely out of evanescent color effects, somewhat in the vein of Rothko. Working on highly absorbent ground, Graubner maximizes the murkier tendencies of his pigments
