A closer look at the work

A glass façade divides the vertical frame into coloured and dark rectangles. A slender church spire appears in the large red field on the left; lower panes reflect its architecture in cooler tones. On the right, turquoise sky and yellowish brightness open between supports. The dark roof and obliquely seen beams add another geometric order above the reflections.

The archive note identifies the Neue Nationalgalerie and neighbouring St Matthew’s Church. The church appears as a fragmented counterpart distributed across another building’s surfaces. The panes can be seen as material surfaces or used to reconstruct a city through their reflections. The strict frame and an image only partly submitting to it remain visible together.

Personal consultation

The work, the space, the presentation.

What interests you about this work? I take time for your questions, its origins and its place in a collection. Together, we explore differences between works and their relationship with space, light and architecture.

Size, selected materials and bespoke framing are carefully coordinated. The precise presentation develops through our conversation.

A photograph of the intended space can help us consider scale and placement.
