the line between representational form and the psyche's
intuitive embrace of abstraction. His early works revealed
landscape vistas from both his native country of Liechtenstein and his
study journeys abroad. Non-representational abstract works followed,
color experiments that veered into abstract expressionism. Combined
with a solvent, the color pigments produced interesting effects that
were sometimes printed onto a second painting base, creating a mir-
ror image of works. The technique allowed for different densities and
color saturation of the same image, producing intriguing contrasting
interpretation. Sometimes Wanger's paintings embrace script ele-
ments, often veering into ancient Greek. Exploring the spaces between
darkness and light, the subconscious and reality, these gothic arenas
betray a gloomy, macabre sensuality where loneliness and contempla-

another, the image can present both expressionistic
and an impressionistic effects. The choice of color is
particularly important for 3-D-structuralism: Based on
Goethe's theory of color, the compositions of yellow-blue,
yellow-red as well as red-blue and the respective mixed
colors of these combinations are particularly suited to
this new painting technique. The three-dimensional effect
shows up not only in the original, but also as an image on
liquid crystal screens or on color transparencies. This is
spatula expressive, semi-representational imagery. Thus,
various possibilities of artistic expression result. Wanger
was granted a patent for the 3-D-structuralism technique
in Switzerland, the UK, USA, Hong Kong and other
states. However, as an open public license everyone is
encouraged to use the technique. New developments and
amendments necessitate free use as well.

transfer of works of art are areas Dr. Wanger specializes in. He advises
artists and collectors in all matters ranging from contracts with galleries
and museums to intellectual property rights. Proficient in a number of
artistic mediums including sculpture, hand drawing, graphics, lithography,
and design, Wanger has exhibited in New York, throughout Europe, and
recently at the Art Museum of the Academy of traditional Chinese Painting
and the Shanghai Spring Art Salon in China. He received the Prix du
