A.R. Penck (1939 – 2017) was a German painter, printmaker, sculptor and jazz drummer. A Neo-Expressionist, his best-known works were famed for their neo-primitive style and typified by their simplified figures and forms, which Penck referred to as ‘Standart.’
His work is represented in numerous public collections, including MoMA, New York, the Kunsthalle, Hamburg, Germany and the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
In 2019, his estate donated 'Untitled (Standart)' (1967 bis 1968) to Art of Wishes for auction.
