About This Artwork

Karl Rödel – abstract monotype in grey and blue presents a rigorously structured geometric composition built from calm colour fields and grid-like forms. The restrained palette of muted greys and blues gives the piece a clear, timeless presence, making it an excellent choice for contemporary and minimalist interiors. As a hand-signed unique work on paper, this artwork exemplifies Rödel’s position between concrete art and post-war abstraction.

The sheet combines precisely arranged shapes with subtle variations in paint application – perfect for collectors interested in geometric abstraction, post-war abstract art and original works on paper. Thanks to its manageable format and strong visual structure, it works both as a standalone focal point and as part of a curated hanging within a serious collection or design-conscious living and working space.

Tableau Clous (1961)

Bernard Aubertin

ZERO

Fire Art

A dense monochrome field of saturated red is punctuated by an ordered constellation of iron nails, their heads articulating a low relief that animates the surface with measured rhythm and light. Driven at regular intervals across the support, the clous transform the painting into a tactile matrix: metallic highlights flare and recede against the red ground, while the physical penetration of the nails compresses and stresses the plane, converting color into structure. Aubertin’s calibrated spacing and depth produce a vibratory optical effect—an austere but sensorial choreography in which repetition, seriality, and the elemental force of red cohere into a rigorously constructed relief painting.Created in 1961, this Tableau Clous is an early-period work from the moment Aubertin expanded his Tableaux Rouges into relief and action, aligning with the ZERO movement’s postwar reset toward clarity and phenomena. In dialogue with contemporaries exploring monochrome and material processes (from Yves Klein’s chromatic absolutism to the serial reliefs that define ZERO’s vocabulary), Aubertin’s nails enact a zero-degree of painting: gesture yields to procedure, and light, surface, and time become the true agents of form—a position that presages his Combustions and fire paintings while retaining the disciplined intensity of Minimal Art. Documented under the archival reference TCLR16-1000395423 and emerging from a Private Collection in Italy, the work bears strong provenance and scholarly traceability; works from this cycle have been contextualized in international museum surveys of ZERO and are present in public collections. For collectors, an early 1961 nail painting represents a significant example from the artist’s definitive period and a museum-grade acquisition within the canon of European avant-garde relief and monochrome. An elemental monochrome animated by serial relief, the work crystallizes Aubertin’s zero-degree painting at the moment of its emergence.
