Gestural composition, oil on canvas, 110 cm x 80 cm, signed, dated 1979/1980, slight craquelure, with invoice, provenance: Karl & Faber, private collection ''I have certain ideas, then I begin to paint and through painting arrive upon other ideas. (...) A painted idea doesn't usually satisfy me. I would rather discover something, and that in turn comes into conflict with the original ideas.'' (Helmut Sturm in an interview from 2001, quoted by: Andreas Kühne on the website of the Helmut Sturm Archive). In 1952 Helmut Sturm passed the entrance examination for art education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. In 1953 he changed to the painting class of Prof. Erich Glette. Together with the artists Helmut Sturm, HP Zimmer, Heimrad and Lothar Fischer he founded the group ''SPUR'' in 1957. One year later, the first SPUR manifesto and the SPUR graphic portfolio with works by Asger Jorn, Conrad Westphal and Hans Platschek are published. From 1959 to 1962 the group was a member of the ''Situationist International''. In 1980 Helmut Sturm began a two year guest professorship at the Hochschule der Künste in Berlin. In 1985 he took over the chair of Günter Fruhtrunk at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. In 1986 Helmut Sturm was awarded the Fritz Winter Prize. Since 1991 he has been a member of the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts in Munich.
