graphite & putty eraser, with watercolour pencil/30x21cm
Continuing the progress of the Project with this re-mediated
representation of Sepp Maier, who was featured in both the FKS & Panini
World Cup ’74 sticker albums & selected for inclusion in the official West
Germany squad for the Finals.
One of the few memorable names from my experience of the television coverage
of the tournament, Maier’s penchant for what appeared comically oversized
gloves & shorts (a style that later would become familiar amongst
goalkeepers) made him an easily-recognizable figure, & his ever-presence in
the West German team as it won the tournament was obviously another significant
factor in his name sticking in the mind.
