Overwhelmed buyer of 'A Portrait'
The original artwork hangs in a private family in Switzerland and measures 160 x 120 cm.
The family subsequently wrote to Købke;
“Kasper, thank you very much for a completely overwhelming visual experience. The final artwork goes far beyond our wildest hopes. You have a spectacular talent and a gift that deserves the greatest recognition.
I will look forward to the artwork for the rest of my days and look after it as one of my dearest possessions.”
Kasper Købke stated in connection with the completion of ‘A Portrait’ that;
“For me personally, there is no doubt that this work appears to me to be one of the most interesting of my works, both technically and visually.
With this work, I have focused an incredible amount on the visual expression, rather than the technical aspect alone.
I want to tell something with the work, I want to put thoughts in people’s heads. I want to create a recognition for the viewer, but at the same time a sense of wonder.”
Really enjoy exploring Købke’s hyper-realistic work.
