"Gunther Sachs" 2024

Dimensions: 100 x 130 cm

Medium: Spray paint and silkscreen on screen-print panel

Artist: Maximilian Wiedemann

Drenched in shades of deep violet, burnt orange, and infrared pink, “Gunther Sachs” captures the essence of Europe’s original playboy prince. But Wiedemann does more than immortalize Sachs’ seductive gaze—he deconstructs it.

Up close, Sachs dissolves into a chorus of miniaturized icons, revealing that his image—like his myth—was built through endless reinvention. Wiedemann’s micro-portrait silkscreen technique mimics the very process of celebrity: repetition, obsession, and projection.

This piece is not just a tribute—it’s a decoding. Sachs, who famously courted Brigitte Bardot and blurred the lines between tycoon and artist, is rendered here as both man and symbol. The color palette feels cinematic, evoking dusky nights in St. Tropez or flickering flashes from vintage paparazzi bulbs.

This is the collector’s Gunther—a relic of elegance and indulgence, reframed through a modern, disruptive lens. One-of-a-kind, seductive, and layered in meaning.

A must-have for those who understand that true luxury lies in legacy—and the art that preserves it.
