Lot 76 Bernd Berner. o.T. (Flächenraum). 1987. …

o.T. (Flächenraum). 1987. Aquarell, Wachskreide und Buntstift auf Aquarellpapier. 32,4 x 24,8 cm. Signiert und datiert. - An den Ränder mit kaum merklichen Löchern und verso minimal atelierspurig und mit handschriftlicher Nummerierung. Insgesamt sehr gut. Farbintensive Arbeit in leuchtender Aquarellierung.

Deutsche Nachkriegsmoderne – Mit einem leuchtenden leuchtenden Zinnoberrot und einem spannungsreiche Farbstufung von innen nach außen trägt Berner seinen vibrierenden Farbraum vor. Das Zentrum des Rechtecks ist durch dichte, überlagernde Schraffurlinien mit einem satten, deckkräftigen Karminrot gefüllt. Zur Peripherie hin löst sich die Farbe auf: Die Ränder des Rechtecks gehen in aquarellartige, teils orangefarbene und rosafarbene Läufer über, die organisch nach unten fließen und das Papier transparent benetzen. Dieser Übergang von Dichte zu Transparenz schafft eine optische Tiefe - den von Berner selbst definierten "Flächenraum", in dem Farbflächen durch Überlagerung Tiefenräumlichkeit erzeugen.

German Post War – Watercolor, wax crayon, and colored pencil on watercolor paper. Signed and dated. - Slightly noticeable holes along the edges, minimal studio marks on the reverse and handwritten numbering. Overall, in very good condition. A richly colored work with vibrant watercolor washes. Using a brilliant vermilion and a dynamic gradation of color from the center outward, Berner presents his vibrant color space. The center of the rectangle is filled with dense, overlapping hatching lines in a rich, opaque carmine red. Toward the periphery, the color dissolves: The edges of the rectangle merge into watercolor-like streaks-partly orange and partly pink-that flow organically downward, moistening the paper with a translucent quality. This transition from density to transparency creates optical depth-what Berner himself defined as "surface space," in which areas of color generate a sense of spatial depth through layering.
