About the artist:
Konrad Klapheck became famous in the 1960s with his figurative paintings of technical devices.
His drawings and sketches are also precise and perfect. Reduced to their exact contours, they almost completely renounce hatching or internal drawings - a technique that Klapheck, to the surprise of the art world, has applied in recent years to an entirely new subject: the portrait. Since the early nineties he has been drawing colleagues, friends and celebrities from the international art scene. This pantheon of artists, gallery owners, museum people and critics has now grown into an extensive collection, whose affinity with photo portraits and caricatures cannot be ignored.
The most interesting portrait drawings - with commentary by the artist - are brought together here for the first time.
