• Georg Karl Pfahler, together with Günter Fruhtrunk, is one of the most important representatives of Hard Edge in Europe.
• The complex relationship between form, color, and space is at the center of his artistic work.
• Through their implementation in a stencil-like manner and flat-looking, geometric compositions, Pfahler's paintings unfold their immediate effect.
