- Large-format, highly abstracted portrait from the well-known Parsifal series. - Named after the opera of the same name by Richard Wagner, the series shows variations of a man's face, often in tears. - Between abstraction and figuration; despite the simplification of the form, the full-length face and its expression remain recognizable. - Offered on the international auction market (source: artprice.com) for the first time.
