Albert Oehlen Boxed Edition

By: Klaus Kertess,Albert Oehlen,John Corbett,Roberto Ohrt

Limited to 1,000 copies, each numbered and signed by the artist, each signed by the artist. Often wryly funny and just as smart, Albert Oehlen's paintings play the medium for all it's worth. After an early realization that the so-called death of painting actually freed his enthusiasm as to the number of aspects through which one could expand painting, Oehlen, got to work on a wide variety of figurative and non-objective offerings, in what he has called his post-non-representational art. In his most recent work group Oehlen expands painting through the use of blatant advertising posters whose in-your-face aesthetics he transforms with subtle brushwork. Never without a touch of tongue-in-cheek humor, his work seems to be winking at us as it dares us to change the way we look at an image. Klaus Kertess throws a light on the years from 1988 onwards, when Oehlen saw himself self-consciously as a painter and started his first abstract works, then continued to probe the limits of the medium.

Albert Oehlen - Painting

By: Albert Oehlen

Four decades after he first burst onto the international art scene in the early 1980s, Albert Oehlen (born 1954) remains among the most influential and controversial painters of the present. Operating between figuration and abstraction with vigor and energy, Oehlen relentlessly critiques painting's history, its clichés and its relationship to the imagery of the advertising and pop industries--all within the medium itself (rather than in another art form). Reproducing 110 works, this volume, designed by Heimo Zobernig, takes something of an artist's book approach to Oehlen's oeuvre, emphasizing its methodological complexity, vitality and conflicts. Alongside an interview between Oehlen and fellow painter Daniel Richter, this catalogue contains conversations on the implications of Oehlen's work between Rochelle Feinstein and Kerstin Stakemeier, and between Hal Foster and Achim Hochdörfer.

Albert Oehlen

Thomas Dane Gallery, 29 February-29 March 2008

By: Albert Oehlen

Continuing Albert Oehlen's interest in posters, this volume contains loose, unbound images of ten paintings contained within a large fold-out poster set designed by the artist. Closely associated with the Cologne art scene and the Neue Wilde movement, Oehlen was also formally a member of the Lord Jim Lodge along with Martin Kippenberger, among others. The artist's latest series of paintings vividly merge image, text and symbol in an explosive form that Oehlen has called 'free collage'. Combining oil, inkjet print collage and spraypaint on canvas, Oehlen's paintings are characterised by dirty smears at their centre; reflecting the artist's ability to interrogate the possibilities of painting and challenge the viewer's reading of visual language.

The Art Assassin

By: Albert Wang

In this provocative and groundbreaking nonfiction novel, Albert Wang who is an investigative reporter in the tradition of Hunter Thompson and Norman Mailer reinvents his fictional alter-ego qi peng as a Utah conceptual artist who is trying to make it into the contemporary art world, particularly New York City, from a relative unknown.This mystery novel begins with qi peng's suicide within his future and leads down a darker path into this emerging artist's sordid past as he aspires to find love and appreciation from his fellow artists/characters/celebrities... Wang's controversial reportage as an act of performance art focuses on the spiritual "murder" of the soul as a counterpart to Truman Capote's classic book, "In Cold Blood," that looks at physical murder of humans.
