Expressive, deep black work with convincing tactility. Provenance: - Private collection, Northern Germany - Galeie Werner Klein, Cologne. - Since 1994, Linda Karshan has allowed the structure of her artistic work to be determined by an "inner order", which she developed through intuition and personal choreography. The American artist has been inspired by the liberal arts (dance, philosophy and literature, in particular the work of Samuel Beckett) as well as psychology (in particular D. W. Winnicott's theories of "transitional space" and creativity, on which she wrote her master's thesis). As a result, the individual rhythm that Karshan develops in an ever-varying beat for each work determines each composition.
