Publisher's Synopsis
Exploring the continual exhaustion, withdrawal, engagement and renewal of painting, the work of Michael Krebber is a central reference in conversations about the medium's continued relevance. The large selection of paintings, drawings and sculptures featured in this two-volume publication showcases Krebber's practice over the last three decades. Stations in a recursive cycle of starts, fits and restarts, scattered in a variety of motifs and gestures, by turns emphatic, arresting or ironic together they trace the artist's approach to painting, its expressive language as well as its critical function. Volume 2 of 2. (Volume 1. ISBN 9783960980513). Published on the occasion of the exhibition, Michael Krebber: The Living Wedge at Fundação De Serralves, Porto, Portugal (15 October 2016 - 15 January 2017) and at Kunsthalle Bern, Switzerland (18 February - 30 April 2017).
