Arnulf Rainer (1929) - Federn
Arnulf RAINER is an artist born in Austria in 1929. His works were offered 4,508 times at public auctions, mainly in the print-multiple genre.
Together with Ernst Fuchs, Anton Lehmden, Arik Brauer, Wolfgang Hollegha, Markus Prachensky and Josef Mikl, he founded the dog group in 1950, with which he exhibited for the first (and only) time in 1951. The exhibition took place in the rooms of the Vienna Society for Science and Art. Together with Maria Lassnig he visited André Breton in Paris in the summer of 1951.
The Arnulf Rainer Museum opened in Baden near Vienna in September 2009.
Since the beginning of the 1950s he has been painting over his own and other people's pictures and photos. Photo overpaintings of self-portraits, known as face farces, have become particularly well-known. He undertook his first overpaintings of other people's pictures due to a lack of material. From 1958 to 1963, Sam Francis, Georges Mathieu, Emilio Vedova, Victor Vasarely and many other artists provided him with work to paint over.
Offset print, photo on postcard based on a work by Rainer entitled "Federn 1973", hand-signed.
