The selection of works on exhibition as a part of BERLIN (1973-1975) are Enamel & Oil on Paper on Board paintings created between 1973-1975 directly after the Sibley returned from a Residency in Berlin in 1972. Indicative of Sibley’s avant-garde approach to art making during this period they are all rare and iconic works. Most significantly and most directly influenced by artists such as Beckman, Dubuffet, Klee, Bacon and the like, Sibley’s affinity with German and European Art was based on more than just his exhibiting there, the impact of his connection to Europe – and understanding of the ideas that were explored by the major artists of the 20th century he followed and those that he was a contemporary of – remained a key part of on his work throughout illustrious career.
