Rotraut’s Celebration of True Love (edition 1/8) rises 64 inches in painted aluminum, its vivid, single‑stroke loop echoing the buoyant abstraction of Alexander Calder, Niki de Saint Phalle, and Joan Miró. The saturated palette nods to Rotraut’s early work with Yves Klein and the bold surfaces of Jean Dubuffet’s Hourloupe reliefs, while collectors of Calder stabiles, Saint Phalle Nanas, or Keith Haring totems will recognize the same exuberant spirit.
