Arnulf Rainer *
(born in Baden near Vienna in 1929)
“Hell”, 1973, “Face Farces” series, signed twice A. Rainer and titled, oil, graphite, chalk, glass, fabric (painted fabric at the eyes and on the lower edge in the middle) on photograph on wood, 122 x 176 cm, framed
Exhibited and full-page colour ill:
Arnulf Rainer, Face Farces 1969–1975, Zentralsparkasse und Kommerzialbank, Vienna, Vordere Zollamtsraße, plate 12
Provenance:
Private Collection, Switzerland
All my photo revisions are self-portrayals, reproductions of the self that is not yet known to me. The method:
First, the perpetual attempt to grasp a point of pure identity.
Second, the attempt to transform oneself completely, to alienate oneself in the infinite multiplicity of the possible.
There is not only one person within me, but all this should become only one.
So I investigated my limits and my centre point, but I only found that I could
expand anywhere and everywhere.
Since then, my wish has been to unfold myself infinitely, but at the same time
to occupy a fixed spot like granite.
