Konzeptkunst – Privatsammlung, Düsseldorf. - Das vorliegende Werk gehört zu einer Serie, die Mic Enneper in mehreren Varianten stets in Holz und Paraffinwachs ausführte. Konzeptueller Ausgangspunkt ist Caspar David Friedrichs berühmtes Gemälde Das Eismeer: Die gebrochenen, von der Urgewalt der Natur aufgetürmten Eisflächen des Vorbilds übersetzt Enneper in eine reliefhafte Schichtung aus Holz und Graphit, die er mit einer milchig-transluzenten Paraffinschicht überzieht. Diese konserviert und fixiert das Motiv, entzieht ihm zugleich aber jede malerische Wärme und hüllt es in eine kühle, zeitlose Starre, die dem Sujet des Originals auf eigene Weise entspricht.

Conceptual Art – Wall sculpture made of paraffin, wood and graphite. Signed and dated on the reverse. - A few very small, barely visible scuffs on the edges. Overall, in excellent condition. - Private collection, Düsseldorf. - This work is part of a series that Mic Enneper has produced in several variations, always using wood and paraffin wax. The conceptual starting point is Caspar David Friedrich's famous painting The Ice Sea: Enneper translates the broken ice surfaces of the original, piled high by the elemental forces of nature, into a relief-like layering of wood and graphite, which he covers with a milky, translucent layer of paraffin. This preserves and fixes the motif, yet simultaneously strips it of any painterly warmth and envelops it in a cool, timeless rigidity that corresponds to the subject of the original in its own way.
