artist
Imi Knoebel, wird 1940 in Dessau als Klaus Wolf Knoebel geboren.

Knoebel verbringt seine Kindheit in der Nähe von Dresden und zieht 1950 mit der Familie nach Mainz. Von 1962 bis 1964 besucht er die Werkkunstschule Darmstadt, wo er konstruktive und strukturale Kompositionsübungen erlernt. 1964 wechselt an die Düsseldorfer Kunstakademie in die Gebrauchsgrafik-Klasse von Walter Breker. 1965 erreicht er durch extravagantes Auftreten in die Beuys-Klasse aufgenommen zu werden. 

Zunächst schafft Knoebel schwarz-weiße Linienbilder (1966–68). Unter dem Einfluss von Kasimir Malewitsch und seinem 'Schwarzen Quadrat“ entstanden flächige Skulpturen aus übereinanderliegenden Platten (z.B. Sandwich I und Sandwich II, Pinakothek der Moderne, München) oder aus bunt bemalten Aluminiumlatten und -platten, die sich gegenseitig teilweise überdecken, wobei sich Muster ergeben (z.B. INNINN).

Im Mai 2006 wird Imi Knoebel Ehrendoktor der Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena.

Heute lebt und arbeitet Knoebel als freischaffender Künstler in Düsseldorf.

Features and remarks


"Face 5 Ed." - Acrylic painting on collaged plastic film by Imi Knoebel.

The painting was created in 2013 as part of a strictly limited edition - the individual design of each copy gives the work a unique character.

If you like, a large part of the work of Düsseldorf artist Knoebel can be interpreted as a homage to the founder of minimalism, Kazimir Severinovich Malevich. When the Beuys student discovered the radical nature of non-objective art for himself, his mission was to bring this experience to the world.

In the "Face" series, the conceptual idea of a human face evoked by the title is correspondingly disappointed: the crossed collaged, hand-painted strips of rectangular cut plastic film form a kind of frame, but the surface remains empty in the figurative sense. Only the delicate brushstroke can be discovered on the film.
