Unique Object Wall Plate Dux II

With the one-of-a-kind wall piece "Dux II," Karl Otto Götz (1914-2017) created a striking work directly on Meissen porcelain-an energetic encounter between expressive modernism and centuries-old manufactory craftsmanship. Measuring 42 x 73 cm, the composition unfolds in a dynamic horizontal format that provides a clear stage for the artist's gestural impulse.

As one of the most significant representatives of abstract Informel, Götz masterfully translated movement and energy into a distinctive visual language. In "Dux II," dynamic brushstrokes, rhythmic layers, and spontaneous applications converge into a composition that is both vibrant and focused. The intense black asserts a powerful presence against the radiant white ground-an interplay of strength and lightness, of impulse and deliberate control.

Rendered on Meissen porcelain, this expressive gesture acquires an added dimension. The impeccably smooth surface reflects light and enhances the depth of the painting, while the clarity of the material sharpens the contrast. The result is a dialogue between artistic spontaneity and technical perfection, lending the work an extraordinary radiance.
