About Uschi Lüdemann
Uschi Lüdemann studied painting, art theory and sculpture under Joseph Beuys at the Academy in Düsseldorf and the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main. Lüdemann lives and works in Los Angeles and Frankfurt.
At first glance, her work seems to be in the tradition of Abstract Expressionism, but it also combines Impressionist tendencies with a wide variety of light moods that waft diffusely across the picture surface. The abstracted landscape studies thus develop an enormous spatial depth.
Works by Lüdemann can be found in numerous private and public collections, including the Deutsche Bank AG Collection, Frankfurt am Main, Hoechst AG in Höchst and Freshfields in Frankfurt am Main.
Term for paintings and sculptures that are detached from the representational depiction, which spread throughout the entire western and parts of the eastern world from around 1910 onwards in ever new stylistic variations. The Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, born in 1866, is considered the founder of abstract art. Other important artists of abstract art are K.S. Malewitsch, Piet Mondrian, and others.
A one-of-a-kind or unique piece is a work of art that has been personally created by the artist. It exists only once due to the type of production (oil painting, watercolours, drawing, etc.).
In addition to the classic unique pieces, there exist the so-called "serial unique pieces". They present a series of works with the same colour, motif and technique, manually prepared by the same artist. The serial unique pieces are rooted in "serial art", a type of modern art, that aims to create an aesthetic effect through series, repetitions and variations of the same objects or themes or a system of constant and variable elements or principles.
In the history of arts, the starting point of this trend was the work "Les Meules" (1890/1891) by Claude Monet, in which for the first time a series was created that went beyond a mere group of works. The other artists, who addressed to the serial art, include Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian and above all Gerhard Richter.
