- Summary
- Markus Lüpertz has never believed in the purely representational purpose of art, but, in his own words, has always been "searching for the potential picture" and thus doesn't feel bound by any one style. The exhibition and the comprehensive accompanying catalogue set out to investigate the "large gesture", as well as to explore Lüpertz's conscious play with the role of the artist, duly presenting his multifaceted oeuvre and his passion and intellectual rigour in a large selection of 150 paintings and sculptures, including a number of early works, which still have the capacity to surprise one today. They range from the early examples of the "dithyrambic", "anti-abstract" painting from the 1960s with its proximity to pop art, to the intensive engagement with the mythological and classical canon of themes during the past few decades, all of which is accompanied by an extensive section containing photographic documents. Exhibition: Kunst- und Ausstellungshallungshalle der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, Bonn, 9 October 2009 - 17 January 2010.
