Lot Essay

“Premiering a new series of diagonal grid paintings, the majority in a diamond format, on first glance they recalled the early lozenge grids of Piet Mondrian (1872-1944). More scrutiny, however, revealed just how Zobernig’s work transcends the banalities of so-called appropriation art, but instead critically builds on key historical moments, and playfully enlivens the close to extinct tradition of geometric abstraction.” (D. Pestorius, ‘Due Process. Some Notes on Heimo Zobernig’s Grid Paintings and their Antecedents, in Heimo Zobernig, exh. cat., Kunstverein Braunschweig , Braunschweig, Germany, 2003)
