Lot Essay

"In the lead pictures Frg's opposition to representation, to the methods of establishing form by means of linear contour, becomes manifest. He repudiates that which defines form because it obstructs spatial allusions. Conforming to this approach, (...) Frg wants to establish a pictorial form which is unequivocal space. The lead surfaces with their numerous irregularities ensure constantly varying reflections of light." (K. Schampers, in 'Gnther Frg, The Complete Editions, 1974-1988', p.20.)
