Description
Modern and Contemporary Art German Post-War Modernism Droese, Felix Reine Gesinnung. 1991. Paper plate and dried cow dung in a Plexiglas box. 10 x 60 x 60 cm. Signed, dated and numbered. - Overall, a very good and clean example. One of 51 copies. - This work was created to mark the solo exhibition of the same name at the Kunsthalle Nürnberg and is paradigmatic of Droese’s subversive approach to language and material: The title evokes a term that is equally fraught with connotations in both moral and political discourse, and juxtaposes it with the most mundane of objects. Cow dung, as a natural product devoid of any refinement, raises questions of authenticity and purity, and of what is socially defined as pure or impure.
