Rudolf Stingel was not satisfied with his monochromatic art. His exhibitions reserve rooms inviting visitors to carve their emotions into soft aluminum walls. The artist then chooses some inscribed areas which he molds to carry out his final work, pushing away the conventional boundaries between art and its spectator.
Stingel is also a theorist who cares to reveal his intentions to better demystify the role of the artist in the creation of art. Recovering a message without consistency from the crowd, he goes beyond the proto-writing of Twombly.
In 2012, his works have been finished in gold through a nickel layer on an electrolytic copper substrate. Gold exacerbates the trivial message of the anonymous crowd in this collective creation where the artist is now a foreman responsible for the choice of the final assembly. The slightly undulating surface brings contrasts of light.
An example 118 x 120 cm was sold for £ 840K including premium by Phillips on July 2, 2014.
The artwork for sale by the same auction house on May 14 in New York is more ambitious. It consists of a square of four panels 120 x 120 x 3.8 cm each of them entirely covered with many graffiti. It is estimated $ 4M, lot 10.
