Jan VOSS (b. 1936). Untitled, 1977. Watercolor on canvas, signed and dated lower right. Height 161.5 cm - Width : 121 cm Provenance : - Private collection of a member of the collector's collective La Peau du Chat, then by descent. Note: Jan Voss attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich from 1955 to 1960, before settling permanently in Paris, where he collaborated with Christo on the magazine KWY. His work is based on a playful, chaotic space, the main subject on the canvas, which is built up by tangled, aerial lines against a white background. "I don't know what the next canvas will be made of", he writes. Critics equate him with Figuration Narrative, although his pictograms and repeated symbols are more reminiscent of Paul Klee. His first solo exhibition in Paris takes place at the Galerie Fleuve in Paris.
