Art like Albert Oehlen: original abstract works to collect
Albert Oehlen (1954) ranks #45 in the Artprice 2023 contemporary art market report — among the world's most sought-after living artists. An original Albert Oehlen is out of reach for most collectors, but you can collect original abstract paintings in a kindred spirit at L'Original.
The abstract spirit
Abstraction works through colour, gesture, texture and form rather than depiction. From gestural energy to quiet geometry, it lets a painting be a pure visual and emotional experience — and it anchors a room with confidence.
Collecting abstract art
With abstraction, trust your eye: look at surface, gesture and how the colour holds together at a distance. Originals reveal real texture and depth a print can't; consider scale and palette against your wall, and ask about the medium and year.
Collect originals in this spirit at L'Original
