Today, collectors increasingly seek original works on paper by Katharina Grosse as an accessible entry point into the practice of one of contemporary art's most significant painters.

An Original Work by Katharina Grosse
Painted in 2018, this unique acrylic on paper demonstrates Grosse's distinctive approach to colour and abstraction. Working directly onto the paper surface, the artist creates overlapping gestures and atmospheric fields of colour that appear both spontaneous and carefully orchestrated.
Unlike her large-scale architectural interventions, works on paper provide a more intimate insight into Grosse's painterly language. They reveal the immediacy of her mark-making and her exploration of colour as both material and subject.
As a unique work rather than an edition, Untitled occupies a particularly important position within the artist's market.
Katharina Grosse and Contemporary Abstraction
The composition reflects many of the themes that define Tracey Throughout her career, Katharina Grosse has challenged the traditional boundaries of painting. Rather than treating the canvas as a fixed surface, she extends colour across walls, buildings, landscapes, and architectural spaces.
Her paintings on paper retain this same sense of expansion. Layers of acrylic create depth, movement, and energy, while the absence of figurative imagery allows viewers to engage directly with colour, gesture, and space.
This approach has established Grosse as one of the leading figures in contemporary abstract painting.
