About Doppeldenk
For more than ten years, the Leipzig artists Marcel Baer and Andreas Glauch have been working together under the name "Doppeldenk" (German for doublethink). For their paintings, sculptures, prints and light objects, they often extract widely known symbols, pictograms and figures from their respective contexts and present them in new and unusual ways. With a stylised and comic-like mode of representation in contrasting colours, Doppeldenk works out the relevant attributes of their motifs and thus create subtle critical and sometimes humorous statements on mass cultural phenomena.
A one-of-a-kind or unique piece is a work of art that has been personally created by the artist. It exists only once due to the type of production (oil painting, watercolours, drawing, etc.).
In addition to the classic unique pieces, there exist the so-called "serial unique pieces". They present a series of works with the same colour, motif and technique, manually prepared by the same artist. The serial unique pieces are rooted in "serial art", a type of modern art, that aims to create an aesthetic effect through series, repetitions and variations of the same objects or themes or a system of constant and variable elements or principles.
In the history of arts, the starting point of this trend was the work "Les Meules" (1890/1891) by Claude Monet, in which for the first time a series was created that went beyond a mere group of works. The other artists, who addressed to the serial art, include Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian and above all Gerhard Richter.
