Untitled [Femme Cheval with Flowers]
(Sin Título [Mujer Caballo con Flores])
Wifredo Lam
1978

In 1978, Wifredo Lam spent time in St. Gallen,
Switzerland, recovering his health after having
suffered a stroke. Lam, the inveterate painter, found
time and energy to produce a repertoire of works on
heavy paper, brilliantly executed with bravado and
resolve, as if defying the inevitable end. The artist
turned over these artworks to the Erker Galerie in
St. Gallen, by then one of the well-known and
prestigious exponents of modernism in Europe.
The galerie, run by Franz Larese and Jürg Janett,
exemplified the advancement of artistic moments
in direct dialogue with leading intellectuals and
writers of distinction. The circle of leading artists
and intellectuals associated with Erker Galerie,
which also ran a publishing house, is legendary,
from Martin Heidegger, Eduardo Chillida, Die Kunst,
Halldór Laxness, Asger Jorn, Joseph Brodsky, Antoni
Tàpies, and others. Wifredo Lam had deposited his
last artistic hurrah in great hands.
