This multimedia boxed set presents a sweeping look at work by pioneering German painter Albert Oehlen (b. 1954), one of the most energetic and significant artists working today. Deeply influenced by literature, music, film, and graphic design, Oehlen’s paintings are the result of a complex layering of methods, subject matter, and viewpoints. This distinctive set contains a catalogue of the winter 2016--17 exhibition at the Cleveland Museum of Art as well as an anthology of texts and images edited by Christopher Williams, a poster, and a vinyl record with a new work by composer and musician Michael Wertmüller, reflecting Oehlen’s singular approach to art-making and the collaborative nature of this publication.

This book documents two new bodies of work; a series of large four-part aluminum panel paintings incorporating Oehlen’s recurring motif of trees and a series titled Finger Paintings, in which color-blocked advertisements are an extension of the canvas, providing fragmented, ready-made surfaces for Oehlen’s visceral markings, made with his hands as well as with brushes, rags, and spray cans. Both series were exhibited at Gagosian Gallery, Los Angeles, in summer 2014.

Albert Oehlen: New Paintings

Baumann, Daniel

Gagosian / Rizzoli

Glee is a uniquely designed volume dedicated to new developments in the world of contemporary painting--developments that engage advances in digital technology instead of fleeing from them. Including such already-renowned and up-and-coming painters as Peter Halley, Franz Ackerman, Ricci Albenda, Pedro Barbieto, Linda Besemer, Alex Blau, Greg Bogin, Alex Brown, Ingrid Calame, Sharon Ellis, Jeff Elrod, Carl Fudge, Wayne Gonzales, Jim Isermann, Sarah Morris, Stephen Mueller, Albert Oehlen, Monique Prieto, John F. Simon Jr. and Yek, Glee documents how these artists are innovating via the influence of styles as diverse as Op Art, Pattern &amp; Decoration, early computer graphics and late 1960s psychedelia. The catalogue was designed by the rising young firm COMA, and features a gatefold that divides the book into two halves: the first dedicated to the artworks themselves, and the second devoted to essays and artist biographies.

Albert Oehlen

The definitive monograph of Oehlen's work to dateOften wryly funny and just as smart, Albert Oehlen’s paintings play the medium for all it's worth—and then some. After realizing that the so-called death of painting freed him to explore "the number of aspects through which one could expand painting," Oehlen started work on a wide variety of figurative and non-objective offerings, in what he has called his "post-non-figurative" art. The artist continuously challenges himself, setting up rules that force him to overcome convention and his own routine in order to arrive at a satisfying image. During his career he has chosen to paint in primary colors only or in gray, to integrate mirrors into his canvases, or to start on computer paintings when the first PCs became available. In his most recent work Oehlen expands painting through the use of 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 perceive an image.This XL monograph covers the entire scope of Oehlen’s oeuvre: Roberto Ohrt discusses the early years, when Oehlen came into his own alongside Kippenberger, Büttner, and others, part of a scene that broke rules in art and rock music. Klaus Kertess examines the years from 1988 onwards, when Oehlen saw himself more self-consciously as a painter and started his first abstract works, then continued to probe the limits of the medium. Martin Prinzhorn and John Corbett take a close look at aspects of Oehlen’s iconography, and Oehlen discusses his computer paintings in a conversation with Corbett. An exhaustive biography and bibliography round out this comprehensive study. While Oehlen fans will rejoice at the publication of this breathtaking book, no one with an interest in contemporary art should pass up this unique opportunity to discover Oehlen’s remarkable body of work.Following on from the Collector's and Art Edition, this is the trade hardcover edition.

GAGOSIAN GALLERY

This new monograph documents the art of Albert Oehlen, whose collage-based, politically challenging, and aesthetically provocative imagery gained him increasing international recognition over the past fifteen years--including, in the past several years, solo exhibitions at the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago and the Nolan/Eckman Gallery in New York.
