About The Work
A nod to the Rorschach test, this edition is both abstract and figurative, hinting at two lovers embracing, while leaving room for the viewer's own interpretation. Artschwager has said, "Portraits are for me a vehicle for ravening ambition. Photos give you a stupid, unassailable truth, Drawings give you touch, Painting gives you physical/mental invasion. I want it all." Liebespaar (Love) is an amalgamation of all of these art forms, creating an understated, yet powerful image of passion. The work was created to benefit Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City.
