The present painting dates to a period, when Thomas Reinhold was increasingly interested in the reflection on different media in art. The fluidity of paint offers a wealth of decisions, but only for a brief moment. Reinhold was fascinated by that intermediate sphere, when compositions result from calculation and chance. The work offered here is an impressive example of Reinhold’s poetic approach and demonstrates the procedural principles of painting.



The work is signed and dated on verso ‘R […] Jan. 88’. It is in very good condition and only shows faint marks along the edges. The size of the stretcher is 90 x 110 cm.

In the late 1970s Reinhold and his companions Erwin Bohatsch, Siegfried Anzinger, Alfred Klinken and Hubert Schmalix founded the ‘Neuen Wilden’, a leading group of avant-garde artists. His works have been exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Austria and abroad. Examples of his artistic output are included in public collections such as the Albertina and the Galerie Belvedere in Vienna, the Museum der Moderne in Salzburg and the Lentos Kunstmuseum in Linz.
