Mennige (Red Lead)

Imi Knoebel's 'Mennige (Red Lead)' consists of two plywood boards mounted together and painted on the inside with lead teroxide in red, varnished on the outside with corner holes. This minimalist work exemplifies Knoebel's exploration of color, materiality, and the phenomenological experience of viewing art.
