ALBERT OEHLEN with texts by Roberto Ohrt, Martin Prinzhorn, John Corbett, and conversations with the artist by Alexander Klar and John Corbett Taschen GmbH 2017 inFolio, cm. 34 x 26, hardcover, dustjacket, 494 pages. In this expansive monograph, we meet the full range of Oehlen's artistic approaches. Through more than 400 paintings, we explore his trajectory from figuration to abstraction and beyond. An essay by Roberto Ohrt takes us back to the rebellious vibe of the early 1980s, when Oehlen worked alongside Martin Kippenberger and a host of others in an art scene that painted loosely while closely reacting to the pulse of their time. With John Corbett the artist discusses his computer paintings, and in a lengthy conversation with Alexander Klar he focusses on his recent work, his thoughts on art, and his day in the studio. A range of short texts and a mix of thematic and chronological plate sections bring us close to the challenging ideas of an artist the New Yorker has called "the most resourceful abstract painter alive". Text: English, German and French. Very good condition. Total weight: kg. 5,2, will be packaged very carefully and shipped with a track and trace code.
