Imi Knoebel — Position 25
Imi Knoebel

Position 25

2009

A bold arrangement of geometric forms rendered in acrylic on aluminium, Position 25 reflects Imi Knoebel's enduring engagement with the fundamental elements of color, shape, and surface. The work's sleek metallic support lends the composition a sharp, industrial quality that contrasts with the luminous vitality of the painted forms. Rooted in a minimalist tradition influenced by his studies under Josef Albers and Johannes Itten at the Düsseldorf Art Academy, Knoebel distills painting to its most essential visual language.
