The Barcode of Life - The Hans Braun Collection
More works from the collection are offered in our Contemporary Art Day Sale on Saturday, December 7, 2024.

• A year before the present work was created, the artists' group SPUR (1957-1965), co-founded by Sturm, exhibited in New York for the first time.
• “Volvo” (1965) - A fascinating testimony to the examination of American Pop Art and Hard-Edge painting.
• In this short phase of his work, Sturm developed a fascinating pictorial language from elements of Pop Art, Op Art and Hard-Edge
.

We are grateful to the SPUR e.V. committee in Munich for the kind support in cataloging this lot.

"The integration of text and speech balloons [..] heralds the influence of Pop Art on Helmut Sturm's imagery as early as 1964. However, the SPUR artists' socio-critical approaches to consumerism were irreconcilable with the ideas of Pop Art."
Pia Dornacher, Malerei als Zusammenspiel, in: Pia Dornacher / Bärbel Kleindorfer-Marx (eds.), Helmut Sturm. Arbeiten von 1957 bis 1999, Cologne 1999, p. 14.
