Untitled (Stoffbild) 1969

Blinky Palermo's "Untitled (Stoffbild)" from 1969 is a minimalist painting characterized by its simple composition of two horizontal bands of color. The top band is a vibrant shade of blue, while the bottom band is a contrasting turquoise. This stark color contrast, combined with the geometric form, reflects Palermo's interest in exploring the visual impact of basic elements within the framework of Minimalism. His use of the term "Stoffbild" in the title emphasizes the materiality of the canvas, drawing attention to the physical qualities of the artwork and the artist's deliberate manipulation of color and form.
