Peter KLASEN (b. 1935). "Telephone", 1971. Gun and stencil on canvas signed, titled and dated on the back (minor soiling and minor dents). Height 99 cm - Width 81 cm Provenance : - Private collection of a member of the collector's collective La Peau du Chat, then by descent. Note : In 1959, he left Germany for good to settle in Paris. Until 1973, the representation of the fragmented female body was omnipresent in his work, which he linked to objects from the real world. He drew his inspiration from mass culture, particularly magazines. He works with airbrushes and pre-cut masks, giving his compositions great formal precision, while favoring the frequent use of black and white, reflecting his fascination with cinema.
