This large painting was sold to one the banks that collect Dirk Marwig’s work. This is the only existing image of it, taken from newspaper clipping of the “Frankfurter Rundschau”(Frankfurt, Germany) spring of 1995.

The name ‘Klitveld’ is an invention of Dirk Marwig. The concept is as old as life itself.

British Vogue June 1988 Dirk Marwig Bracelets, Shoes and Rings photographed by Javier Vallhonrat
The credit says: “Fluorescent multi-colouered bangles, chunky rings, court shoes in fiery ‘Kandinsky’ colours all by Dirk Marwig for Marc Jacobs”. Sorry for the poor quality of the photo but this is the only reference I have.
It is said: The ‘good artist’ “copies” and the ‘great artist’ “steals”. I say: The good artist “copies”(imitates), the great artist “steals”(is inspired by) but the ‘Timeless Artist’ is the one who is copied and who inspires. I’m writing this because to my annoyance my Dark Prince Chair was imitated. Poorly …and no credit given, of course. DARK PRINCE CHAIR (Dirk Marwig, 2009) -This chair was designed,constructed and finished by me (Dirk Marwig) in West Vancouver, Canada 2009. Dimensions: Total height: 100 cm , Seat height: 45 cm Width: 44.5 cm Total depth: 61 cm , Seat depth: 43 cm Construction: Recycled solid Walnut and Cherry wooden floor boards(1 inch thick),wooden dowels and biscuits, wood glue(no screws or nails) Color: Natural light walnut and reddish cherry Finish: Hand rubbed Danish oil. Extras: Supports up to 300 kg of dead weight (proven, with a really fat guy of same weight sitting on it!) Extremely comfortable. The only wooden chair in the WORLD with this DESIGN and CONSTRUCTION (according to thorough research) -signed and dated,with the title(engraved) on the base (bottom) of chair.

FLORIDA 135 SPECIAL GUN (Plexi-glas object with 2 bullets, 20cm x 29.5cm x 4.3cm, Dirk Marwig, Madrid 1998)
I had the photo of my object (long gone and forgotten) enlarged for personal reference ($1200)… Still people don’t get it! (almost 20 years after it’s creation). I really don’t know why the world does not “get it”. -It gives…
