Oil on canvas. Numbering “973” scratched into the wet paint at the top center. Signed, dated, and titled “Tag um Tag guter Tag II” on the reverse of the canvas. 25 x 20 cm.
- From Peter Dreher's most famous series of works, “Tag um Tag guter Tag” (Day after day, a good day). - Starting in 1972, the artist painted an empty water glass (in original size) at regular intervals on a white tabletop against a light background. - Other works from this series can be found in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in Frankfurt am Main and the Staatliche Kunsthalle in Karlsruhe, among others.
We are grateful to the Peter Dreher Foundation, Wittnau, for the kind support in cataloging this lot.

Private collection, East Germany (since 2012)

In good condition. Small areas of discoloration in the upper two corners of the picture, probably caused by abrasion of the top layer of paint or non-opaque paint application. Tiny scratch in the lower left corner. The condition report was prepared in daylight and with the aid of a UV light source to the best of our knowledge and belief.
