About Inge Karsch
1927-2013
The strong colours in Inge Karsch's works seem to develop a life of their own on canvas by running and mixing. These sudden and random effects can be seen as a creative device to enhance the artistic intention. The artist loved these qualities of watercolours. They suited her spontaneity very well. In her watercolours, Karsch used the formal stimulus of the impression of nature for pictorial realisation. For her, these stimuli were landscape and tree forms, cloudy skies, light and weather moods, which she reproduced in strong, closed forms or filigree and delicate. She called them "Inge sky". It was not until about 60 years after her birth that the artist exhibited very successfully in solo exhibitions.
A one-of-a-kind or unique piece is a work of art personally created by the artist. It exists only once due to the type of production (oil painting, watercolour, drawing, lost-wax sculpture etc.).
In addition to the classic unique pieces, there are also 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 genre 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.
The historical starting point is considered to be Claude Monet's "Les Meules" (1890/1891), where, 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.
