Abstract & Figurative Painting
Georg Baselitz & Arnulf
Rainer: Comedy
kerber
Text by rudi fuchs.
this catalogue juxtaposes recent works by two
towering figures of contemporary german painting:
georg Baselitz (born 1938) and arnulf ranier (born
1929). although ranier’s overpainted reproductions
of landscapes and classical portraits differ in style
from Baselitz’s abstract gesturalism, the work of
both artists share a vivid palette and an infectious
joie de vivre. published for an exhibition at the arnulf
rainer museum in Baden, this volume celebrates
their mutual qualities of comedic vitality. the works
reproduced here date from around 2008 to the present,
and range in character from warm, messy, de
Kooningesque abstraction (Baselitz) to luminous,
bold overpaintings of art historical reproductions
and old photographs (rainer)—all exhibiting an
insistent freshness and freedom.

hoLzwArTh PubLICATIons
Text by bernd reiss.
günther Förg (born 1952) has been a leading voice
in european painting for more than 30 years. His abstract
canvases reference and subvert the modernist
repertoire, while his architectural photographs
feel like an approximation of the geometry and
color palette of the paintings. this catalogue
documents a retrospective overview of work groups
from all periods.

Martin engler, Angelica horn.

sculpture by turkish artist Özcan Kaplan (born 1964).

such as his stacked towers of dried oil paints,
and monochrome gray cement casts of canvases.

Roger Wardin: Strangeness
kerber
edited by Gallery börgmann. Text by Peter funken,
Jana sperling.
the diaphanous layering and dappled effects in the
works of german painter roger Wardin (born 1971)
are created by pouring first water and then diluted
oil paints on the canvas. Later, Wardin adds outlines
of trees and houses, which float on the fantastic
landscapes. this catalogue collects new works dating
from 2008 to 2011.

foreword by benno Temple. Text by Lynne van rhijn.
“to express yourself in art is horrible,” german
artist Jonathan meese (born 1970) once said. In this
volume, he proves his point with a body of work that
consists exclusively of self-portraits ranging from
graffitied photos to collages, and paintings both
realistic and abstracted, until their subject, himself,
loses its personal significance.

wALTher könIG, köLn
Introduction by Paul C. ha. Text by simon baier, Yve-
Alain bois, Ann Lauterbach. Interview by Joao ribas.
Cheyney thompson has made the technology, production
and distribution of painting the subject of his
work. His Chronochromes (2009–2011) are composed
using the color system devised by albert H. munsell
in the early 1900s. thompson grafts this system onto
a calendar: each day is assigned a complementary hue
pair, with every hour changing the value, and every
month changing the saturation, of each brushstroke.
