Abstract

The ‘Collaboration Project’ by Pete Clarke, Liverpool & Georg Gartz, Köln
Ten Years Work 1998 – 2008, Museum Zündorfer Wehrturm, Köln 4 - 25 May 2008.
Pete Clarke and Georg Gartz have been invited to have a ‘Retrospective of Ten Years of Collaboration’ featuring the most recent paintings ‘Rheinwärts’. This series of paintings produced in 2008 is based on in Turner’s paintings and sketchbooks as he travelled along the Rhine and Mosel exploring the German landscape. The drawings ‘Rheinlust’ initially developed by Clarke & Gartz in 2007 compared and contrasted significant works by revisiting iconic places depicted in Turner’s paintings and sketchbooks producing these new transcriptions and re-invented images.
