- In Knoebel's famous series of portraits, he took the stylization of the human portrait head that began with Jawlensky's "Meditations" to the extreme. - This is an outstanding example of Knoebel's masterly play with reduction and variation. - Knoebel lends the three-dimensional wooden corpus a "painterly incarnate" and an individual character solely through the color combination. - The color scheme in soft pastels with the fascinating mother-of-pearl-like shimmer in the center and the radiant yellow is very rare. - Most recently, Knoebel's works were shown in "Imi Knoebel. Green Flag" at the White Cube, Hong Kong (2023), and in the exhibition "Balance" at the Hamburger Bahnhof - Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart, Berlin (2022). - Imi Knoebel's works can be found in important international collections like the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin, and the Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich.
