The Finke Estate preserves, researches, and opens Dieter Finke's archive. It connects works, documents, and reconstruction notes so the practice can be read as a living field.
This paper-and-wire lioness keeps its construction fully visible, the wrapped bands and joins as legible as the animal they form. Staged directly against a densely painted panel, it is one of several instances in the archive where Finke set his provisional creatures against his own paintings for the camera.
