Imi Knoebel — Kinderstern
Imi Knoebel

Kinderstern

A bold geometric composition of angular forms and flat planes of color, *Kinderstern* reflects Imi Knoebel's signature minimalist vocabulary rooted in the traditions of the Bauhaus and the teachings of Josef Albers. Rendered in acrylic on wood, the work's hard-edged shapes and luminous hues create a dynamic interplay between structure and color. The title, meaning "children's star" in German, hints at a sense of wonder and simplicity beneath the work's rigorous formal abstraction.
