ISBN: 9783775732369.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor over 30 years, German painter Albert Oehlen (born 1954) has been building a body of work distinguished by its skeptical questioning of painting as a medium. Instead of turning his back on painting, though, the artist has chosen to engage with this skepticism within the medium itself. Oehlen followed his rude, provocative Neo-Expressionist attacks of the 1980s with a cooler brand of computer-based images in the 1990s, followed by a subsequent series of painted-over advertising and his more recent, abstract expressionist works, all while striving to maintain a balance of painterly passion and critical distance. This catalogue features exemplary works from the artist’s various creative periods, and emphasizes two unifying themes that run throughout Oehlen’s work: his engagement with abstraction and his notion of “post-non-figurative painting,” and the often underemphasized relation of his line to his plane and his drawing to his painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hatje Cantz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45212647358517,"sku":"ByrdShop_3775732365","price":348.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783775732369_39353392-3990-42e3-ae93-3e98e378122e.jpg?v=1779903766","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/albert-oehlen-9783775732369","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
