Note du spécialiste
We are most grateful to Mr. Michael Neff from the Estate of Günther Förg for the information he has kindly provided for the catalogue.
It is through its colours that a painting begins to assume a truly enigmatic quality; these take one into the nervous system or the mood of the painting. That which seems to be clearly definable, in a formal sense, becomes infinitely mysterious through the addition of colour and the optical effect of colour. The paintings of Förg are therefore not at all "simple".' (Rudi Fuchs quoted in Abstract, Dialect, Förg, exh.cat., Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam 1995, p. 12.)
