Valeur estimée
€ 70 000 – 100 000
1928 Laasphe/Westphalia - 2014 Berlin
Title: Lichtgeist.
Date: 1966.
Technique: Programmed light sculpture. Glass elements (4 pieces) on metal base, electrified, with timers.
Measurement: 198 x Ø 58cm.
Manufactured by Royal Leerdam (NL).
The artwork was produced in an edition of seven for the 1966 'KunstLichtKunst' exhibition at the Van Abbemuseum Eindhoven. Due to the hand-blown glasswork, each sculpture is unique. Only two original copies of that period have survived. Another copy is held in the collection of the ZERO Foundation, Düsseldorf.
The artwork is fully functional.
We would like to thank Mattijs Visser, Founding Director of the ZERO Foundation in Düsseldorf, for his kind support.
Provenance:
- Alfred Schmela Gallery, Düsseldorf
- Private collection, Cologne (acquired from the previous owner in 1969)
Exhibition:
- Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, 1966
- The 'Lichtgeist' embodies the idea of 'light art' that transcends the purely material.
- The opalescent white and the emitting light impulses lend the light sculpture a ghostly life of its own.
- A rarity on the auction market, as only a few sculptures from this period have survived.
