Roland Goeschl (Austrian, 1932-2016) "Dado a Colori" carved and painted wood titled at bottom. h. 9-3/4", w. 9-1/4", d. 9-1/2" Provenance: Venice, XXXIV Biennale Exhibition of International Art, 1968; Estate of Thomas B. Lemann, New Orleans, Louisiana. Exhibited: Venice, XXXIV Biennale Exhibition of International Art, 1968. Notes: The Austrian post-war avant-garde sculptor Roland Goeschl studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna under Fritz Wotruba (1907-1975) and later worked in Wotruba's studio as his primary assistant. Initially creating figural sculptures, Goeschl soon began deconstructing the figure into geometric forms, reconfiguring the elements into constructive sculptures. Following a brief time at the Royal College in London, Goeschl began to explore polychrome sculpture, adding the primary red, blue and yellow into his works. These sculptures require an active viewer, one who observes them from all sides and perspectives. Goeschl exhibited widely, most significantly at the Venice Biennale in 1968, from where the work presented here was acquired.
