Publisher's Synopsis
After the anniversary exhibition » 25 Years Sammlung Falckenberg&« in 2019, which was dedicated to installations as a core medium of the Falckenberg Collection, the focus in 2025 will now be on painting. The exhibition » How' s My Painting?&« is the first comprehensive presentation of the medium, featuring more than 100 works from the Falckenberg Collection. From Werner Bü ttner, Albert Oehlen, and Martin Kippenberger, who shook up the established art world of the 1980s with their punk-inspired attitude and, together with their American peers Raymond Pettibon and Mike Kelley, embody the concept of counterculture that characterizes the Falckenberg Collection, the exhibition spans a wide range of the medium, from panel painting to its installative, deconstructive, and conceptual forms. Many of the works have not been shown in the collection for quite some time. In addition to the artists mentioned above, the exhibition also includes works by works by Vito Acconci, Donald Baechler, John Baldessari, Kati Barath, Robert Barry, Monica Bonvicini, Nicole Eisenman, Urs Fischer, Gü nther Fö rg, Anna Gudjohnsdottir, Philip Guston, Hans Haacke, Michel Majerus, Jonathan Meese, Manuel Ocampo et. al.
