Ostdeutsche Kunst – Wir danken Herrn Nicholas Staudt für Aufnahme in den Nachtrag des Werkverzeichnisses. - Die vorliegende Arbeit steht charakteristisch für das Werk Morgners, in dem er sich intensiv mit dem Menschen und dessen Dasein auseinandersetzt. In den Arbeiten des Künstlers verschmelzen körperhafte Motive mit einer vielschichtigen Symbolsprache. Charakteristisch sind die eng komponierten Bildräume, die eine beklemmende Wirkung erzeugen. Die dargestellten Wesen erscheinen anonym, verletzlich und von existenziellen Erfahrungen geprägt.

East German Art – Ink, wash, asphalt varnish, and embossing on handmade wove paper. Monogrammed and dated, signed, dated and titled on the verso. - A closed tear approx. 23 cm long at the top. Overall in very good condition. An expressive work featuring a bold wash in a full-format composition. - We would like to thank Mr. Nicholas Staudt for the inclusion in the catalogue raisonné addendum. - This work is characteristic of Morgner's oeuvre, in which he engages intensively with humanity and the human condition. In the artist's works, physical motifs merge with a multi-layered symbolic language. A defining feature is the tightly composed pictorial space, which creates an oppressive atmosphere. The figures depicted appear anonymous, vulnerable and marked by existential experiences.
