Franz Erhard Walther — Säulenfragment
Franz Erhard Walther

Säulenfragment

1981

A fragmented column form is evoked through Walther's characteristic merging of textile and drawing, with cotton fabric presented alongside a watercolour and graphite study on paper. The two-part work reflects his ongoing inquiry into the relationship between object and representation, body and space. The soft materiality of the fabric contrasts with the classical architectural reference implied by the title, inviting contemplation of form, presence, and absence.
