Title:	Untitled Abstract Composition
Artist:	Girke, Raimund 'Raimund Gierke' (Heinzendorf, 1930 - Koln, 2002)
Date:	c. 1970 - 1975
Medium:	Original Silkscreen (Serigraph)
Note:	Raimund Girke 'Raimund Gierke': The influential art of Raimund Girke requires both concentration and meditation from the viewer. During the early 1970's the artist examined the effects of parallel layers of color upon the eye and mind. Such is clearly the case with "Untitled Abstract Composition", an original silkscreen printed in a limited, signed edition of 165 impressions. After this period Raimund Girke (sometimes spelt 'Gierke') explored elements of line and tone with white and grey colors playing dominant roles.
	One of Germany's leading painters and printmakers of the late twentieth century, Raimund Girke studied art techniques at the Werkkunstschule in Hanover (1951-1952) and then completed his education at the Staatliche Kunstakademie in Dusseldorf. Shortly thereafter he began developing a very individual, formally reduced style of composition which quickly came to the attention of the art world. Girke was thus awarded prizes from the cities of Wolfsburg (1959) and Stuttgart (1962).
	From 1966 to 1971 Raimund Girke taught at the Werkunstschule, Hanover, and then accepted a teaching position at the Hochscule der Kunste, Berlin. For the remainder of his influential career he lived and worked mainly in Berlin and Cologne. In 1995 Raimund Girke was awarded the prestigious Lovis Corinth Prize. Today the art of Raimund Girke is included in many public collections, both in Germany and elsewhere.
