The house as a place of seclusion, idyll and of a longed-for ideal in life is the basic set of themes that Stefan Kürten is examining in his works. He uses shades of gold and a powerfully pictorial system of ornaments to transform typical detached houses of the fifties and sixties into archetypes. As in his painting, Kürten uses an elaborate layering process to give the sheet called "Was Ist Ist" (What Is Is) an indefinable sense of costliness. Printed in the Mike Karstens workshop, Münster.
