Yoon-Hee. non finito
The coincidental, the flowing, the brief pausing of the moment are characteristics of her expression: Shaped by Buddhist philosophy, the Korean Yoon-Hee, who has lived in France since the 1980s, also absorbs Western influences and conceptually combines the apparently opposite in her unique sculptures. In more than three decades, she created an oeuvre that was […]

Otto Fried – Heaven can wait / Heaven can’t wait
Exhibition Price: 25€
Otto Fried was born in 1922 in Koblenz, but left Germany in 1936 due to the persecution of Jewish citizens and settled in Portland, Oregon. In 1949 he traveled to Paris to work in the studio of Fernand Léger for two years. For a long time he lived and worked in New York and Paris before settling permanently in Paris from 2010. Primarily based on cosmic-looking discs and circles, Fried developed his very own pictorial language, which distinguished him as the heir of the Avantgarde, combining approaches from German Expressionism, French Cubism as well as American Realism up to the Concrete Art developing in France after 1945.

Deng Guoyuan. Butterflies Conquer the Dinosaurs’ Garden
Deng Guoyuan is a successful artist who has been working in China for decades. He was also President of the renowned Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts until the end of 2018. For twenty years Deng has dealt with the question of existence in a world in which nature has not only been tamed but is threatened by massive human intervention. Until his latest creations, he followed a path that led from the Chinese tradition of ink drawing to abstract oil painting and its fragmentation into individual pictorial motifs, where the reminiscences of nature are barely recognisable. Artificial installations reveal a tamed nature that can generate life only in terms of retort. He envisages his new project as the evolution of genetic mutation and as an absolute apocalypse.

Pierre Soulages. Noir – Lumiere
Soulages’ crucial turn to the black colour happened in the 1950s, as he focussed systematically his canon of forms and colours on black. His works originate in an European sphere of redefinition and avantgarde, which is marked by influences from the American abstract expressionism, the informel up to Asian ink paintings. Catalogue on the occasion of the exhibition at the Ludwig Museum Koblenz, 2018/2019.

John Chamberlain. Bending Spaces
The crumpled sculptures of the American John Chamberlain, welded together from deformed car body parts, already revolutionized the art world in the 1950s. Less well known, but an essential key to his oeuvre, is Chamberlain’s approach to photography. Experimenting, he explored its possibilities, blurriness and fleetingness, created by consciously using long exposure times, blend into a dynamic unity. Catalogue published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name at the Ludwig Museum Koblenz, August – October 2018.
