Elke. 1989. Filzstift auf Transparentpapier mit Feuerflecken. Ca. 93 x 90 cm Signiert. - Minimale Oberflächenbereibung. Verso mit Montagespuren in den Ecken, recto leicht sichtbar aufgrund des Papieres. Insgesamt sehr gut. Filigrane, prachtvolle Arbeit.

Deutsche Nachkriegsmoderne – Frank Dornseifs Arbeit Elke zeigt die für sein Werk charakteristische Verbindung von zeichnerischer Direktheit und experimentellem Materialeinsatz. Die filigrane Filzstiftzeichnung nutzt die Durchlässigkeit des Transparentpapiers, während die bewusst gesetzten Feuerflecken eine zusätzliche Ebene von Fragilität und Transformation einführen. In der Spannung zwischen kontrollierter Linie und materialbedingter Unruhe entfaltet die Arbeit eine eigenständige, atmosphärisch dichte Wirkung.

German Post War – Felt-tip pen on tracing paper with burn marks. Approx. 93 x 90 cm Signed. - Minimal surface abrasion. Verso with mounting traces in the corners, recto slightly visible due to the paper. Overall very good condition. Delicate, splendid work. - Frank Dornseif's work Elke demonstrates the combination of graphic directness and experimental use of materials that is characteristic of his oeuvre. The delicate felt-tip pen drawing exploits the transparency of the tracing paper, while the deliberately placed fire spots introduce an additional layer of fragility and transformation. In the tension between controlled lines and material-induced unrest, the work unfolds an independent, atmospherically dense effect.
