• Lüpertz is one of the most important German artists of the New Figuration.
• In the mid-1980s, Lüpertz explored the boundary between figuration and abstraction in his work.
• Lüpertz's " Die Vision der Veronika" masterfully merges motifs from the legend with a cubist formal language that dissolves into abstraction.
• A brilliant play with art-historical tradition and the joy of association.
• Markus Lüpertz' paintings are in numerous important collections, among them the Lousiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk, the Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, and the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam.

This work's authenticity has kindly been confirmed orally by the studio of Markus Lüpertz. We are grateful for the kind support in cataloging this lot.
