Lot Essay
In 1929 Vordemberge-Gildewart had his first solo exhibition in Paris and in 1930 he took part in the 'Cercle et Carré' and 'Abstraction - Creation' exhibitions, together with many other innovative artists in the field of constructivism.
In these years he created new works based on large colour fields in which smaller fields drift totally free of tension. These minimalist forms influence the larger fields and make it function as part of the whole. The present lot forms part of a serie of works Vordemberge-Gildewart started around 1934 (K85, K89, K90). In all these paintings, an outlined square field within the square of the picture contains two freely suspended right-angled triangles with their tips pointing towards each other, reinforced in this position by an additional bar underneath. This idea became the nucleus of a majority of his Amsterdam paintings.
