A German painter and graphic designer, Günther Förg was one of the first artists to use an abstract style. Influenced by American abstract painting, he paved the way for many other artists in Europe.
“Really, painting should be sexy. It should be sensual. These are things that will always escape the concept. I think painting is a resilient practice; if you look through the history of painting it doesn’t change so much and we always see it in the present. It is still now.”
-Günther Förg
