Magda Hagstotz - The Bruges Collection no. 1 (26) ‘Hinein’  Mixed media, 1970’s, unsigned, estate #.

Hinein

Applied spatula technique, glazed effect; on heavy particle board; edges painted; hanging assures slight detachment from the wall.  Size is 19 x 19”.

This work makes immediate reference to Magda Hagstotz amazing craft talents. All evidence points to that it has been intricately and painstakingly put together, yet it expresses swiftness and ease in execution.  The title "inwards"  appropriately denotes the onlooker's sensation of compelling turbulence.   

Excellent condition except one small crack in the surfacing in the middle left (aged and slightly discolored) and some small losses of surfacing here and there (aesthetically neutral). See close-up photographs.

Magda Hagstotz - The Bruges Collection no. 2 (26) ‘Nachteule’  Mixed media, 1970’s, unsigned, estate #.

Nachteule

Poured Lacquer on prestructured thin particle board; edges painted; hanging assures slight detachment from the wall.  Size is 15 x 18.1”.

This sixties "nightowl" is done in the glossy lacquer technique dear to Hagstotz. The roughly treated, scraped and styled ground gives the work sculptural qualities.  The very high-gloss surfacing provides extra color depth through reflection (see blue effects on the detailed photos).

Excellent condition for its age.

Magda Hagstotz - The Bruges Collection no. 3 (26) ‘Grenze’  Mixed media, 1970’s, unsigned, estate #.

Grenze

Gouache, oil, tempera on thin particle board; edges painted; hanging assures slight detachment from the wall.  Size is 18.9 x 18.9”.

Yet another mixed media technique by the ever versatile Hagstotz. The matte surfacing seems to have grown onto the painting all by itself.  Unruly, undefined, caught between contrasting forces.

Excellent condition for its age.

Zeuge

Plaster and tempera on thin particle board; edges painted; hanging assures slight detachment from the wall.  Size is 9.8 x 18.8”.

In this 'false bronze' work with sculptural qualities, Hagstotz goes resolutely three-dimensional.  Experiences and confidences in a time-warp.

Excellent condition for its age.

Die Wiese

Watercolor on handmade paper, purposely creased and wrinkled. Assorted passe-partout and simple wooden framing, glazing and protective back-board. The hanging assures slight detachment from the wall.  Size is 21.6 x 29.1”.

The first of the Collection's sublime floral watercolors. Hagstotz was fascinated by the representation of flowers and it is certain that her occupation as textile designer inspired the recurrent floral motive in her watercolor art.

Excellent condition for its age.

Gouache/tempera on structured plaster, plaster on thin particle board backing. The hanging assures slight detachment from the wall.  Size is 15.7 x 19.7”.

Engel der Nacht

Diluted oil on pre-used masonite, reinforced with a frame on the backside. The hanging assures slight detachment from the wall.  Size is 22 x 25.2”.

Hagstotz has recuperated here and strongly warped old billboard with remnants of glued-on papers.  On this part rugged, part smooth surface she has scratched her design into a thin layer of darkish paint, so that the whitish ground has become visible and from which arises this beautiful image full of symbols and connotations.  

Excellent condition for its age.

Assembled pine wood planks, cut out and sand-blasted (?) . The hanging assures slight detachment from the wall.  Size is 18.9 x 26”.

Magda Hagstotz - The Bruges Collection no. 10 (26) ‘Zwiespalt’, Mixed media, 1960's, signed, estate #.

Zwiespalt

Varnished tempera on white ground on light particleboard support. The hanging assures slight detachment from the wall.  Size is 9.5 x 9.5”.

As so often in Hagstotz' works, two opposing forces affirm their presence. The matte and milky final layer lets the glossy underground shine half through. The flowing scratched lines further accentuate depth and contrast.

Excellent condition for its age.

Schaltung

Polished tempera on prepared ground, on heavy particleboard. The hanging assures slight detachment from the wall.  Size is 11 x 11.4”.

Sculptured plaster layer on heavy particleboard. Edges treated. The hanging assures slight detachment from the wall.  Size is 11.4 x 11.8”.
