2. A.R. Penck, Der Übergang (Passage), 1963, oil on canvas, 37 x 47-1/4”. Sammlung Ludwig, Ludwig Forum für Internationale Kunst, Aachen © A.R. Penck. "In A.R. Penck’s Passage (1963) a stick figure is crossing over a narrow bridge engulfed in flames while a fire burns in the background. The man seems to go willingly into this situation, showing that one must face the abyss of history regardless of the outcome." – Emese Krunák-Hajagos
