BAUMGÄRTEL, THOMAS
(''Bananensprayer'')
1960 Rheinberg
Title: Impfbanane.
Date: 2021.
Technique: Spray paint on plastic panel.
Measurement: 119 x 84cm.
Notation: Signed lower right: Baumgärtel.
Condition:
Occasional minimal surface scratches and minimal staining. Minimal traces of an old mounting on the upper and lower edge. Otherwise in very good condition.
The work originates from the Cologne vaccination centre.
The artist became known for the recurring motif of the banana, which he sprayed on the exterior walls of national and international museums. With the start of the national vaccination campaign against Covid-19, the "Bananensprayer" ("banana sprayer") starts a new art action and sprays "Impfbananen" ("vaccination bananas") on the walls of hospitals and vaccination centres. The initially illegal action becomes a great success in the course of the following months.
With this work, the artist expresses his gratitude to both the vaccinators and the vaccinated for 250,000 vaccinations.
Expected shipping costs for this lot:
The lot is unsuitable for parcel shipment. Transport only by forwarding agent by arrangement after the auction.
