- An expressive composition that draws its distinctive strength from vibrant colors in combination with a lucid and floating brushwork. - Apparent contrasts united: the geometric rigor of the composition with the spontaneous gestures of the vibrant brushstrokes. - A fine example of Förg's masterful adaptation of art historical traditions: in addition to Blinky Palermo, Förg references the American postwar art of Barnett Newman and Brice Marden. - In 2014, the Museum Brandhorst in Munich presented the first posthumous retrospective exhibition, followed in 2018 by retrospectives at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and the Dallas Museum of Art. - In 2023, the Long Museum in Shanghai presented Günter Förg's work for the first time in a major solo exhibition in Asia.
