KW Portrait Behind 4620 Muhammed Drawings
Winning Bid: € 2.200
Item condition: New
Portrait of the artist Kurt Westergaard, made in 2017 and optically processed behind a layer of no less than 4.620 transparent miniature Muhammed drawings (OMT 1/1). The 40 works in total (40×40 cm) were later numbered and signed. Out of artistic reasons Erik Guldager chose to use the Muhammed drawing from 1994, since it was Kurt’s personal favorite.
Kurt Westergaard, who was himself an enthusiastic proponent of free speech, ended up with 24/7 protection and was imprisoned in his own home, symbolically behind the bars of Muhammed. However, we see a happy and content artist in the drawing.
On the backside you will find Erik Guldager´s notes on the work along with the original picture.
Reference: p. 392 – 394 in the book “I Kurts kølvand.”
