Features and remarks


Here you are purchasing the 3-part work ‘Anima Mundi 91-3 II Ed’, an acrylic painting on collaged plastic foil by Imi Knoebel.

The painting was created in 2011/14 as part of a strictly limited edition of three copies – each copy is individually designed, giving the work a unique character. The edition label on the back of the frame also indicates the sequence of the sheets from ‘A’ to ‘C’.

In ‘Anima Mundi’, Imi Knoebel creates a cosmic harmony of colour and space.

The central rectangle – like a ‘core of the world soul’ – is framed by fine, vibrant stripes of colour that appear like lines of energy or cosmic ‘veins’. Inspired by the Neoplatonic idea of anima mundi (animated world), Knoebel evokes a living architecture: colours ‘breathe,’ layer themselves like shells of a cosmic egg, and interact in dissonant or harmonious constellations. Each composition is a colour cosmos – sometimes cool and intellectual, sometimes warm and vibrant – that dissolves the boundary between painting and sculpture.

If one wishes, one can interpret much of the work of the Düsseldorf artist Knoebel as an homage to the founder of Minimalism, Kasimir Severinovich Malevich. When the Beuys student discovered the radical nature of non-representational art for himself, his mission was to bring this experience to the world.

„When I am asked what I think about when I look at a painting, I can only answer that I don't think at all; I look at it and can only absorb its beauty, and I don't want to see it in relation to anything else. Only what I see, simply because it has its own validity.“
