SIEGFRIED CREMER, Weißes Bild mit rotem Mini-Mal, 1980
Siegfried Cremer's greatest contribution to the visual arts is a striking addition to minimalist painting. In "Weißes Bild mit rotem Mini-Mal" a tiny painted block of metal hangs from a monochrome white canvas. He called such an appendix "Mini-Mal", a reference to its one-colored painted appearance (German transl. "malen" = to paint) and to the concept of minimalism. In this sense, Siegfried Cremer is hitherto an unknown and seriously underappreciated artist of the 1960s and 1970s.
