Contemporary Fine Arts is pleased to announce two solo exhibitions with new works by Norbert Schwontkowski and Georg Herold in the gallery's space Am Kupfergraben 10. One should avoid speaking of a principle when considering Georg Herold's work, because quite obviously he himself is interested in not following any principle. Roof laths, bricks, car paint, caviar - whether his material comes from the building supplies store or a delicatessen: Georg Herold loves to take art off the pedestal to put it on the floor, down to earth, as it were. In 1977, he presented his first roof lath at Hamburg's Hochschule für Bildende Künste - his art is not just famous for that, but especially for his brick and caviar pictures. With caviar, Herold creates a kind of abstract expressionism on his canvas, frequently numbering the seemingly countless individual grain of caviar. The artist does not make any elaborate sketches or models, but rather tests his ideas directly with and against the material. He creates sculptures by stretching pairs of tights over object-like structures made of foil. In the 1993 work Cross Culture, Herold used roof laths to build a stretcher frame, but instead of canvas, he stretched two pairs of tights diagonally over the ‘image area', using clothespins. ‘I have decided to observe, that is to say, to derive my experiences and views from questioning phenomena, rather than posing questions to others. That means I reject any catering service in matters of the mind." Contemporary Fine Arts is greatly looking forward to the exhibition ‘Place the Lord'. It will be the first solo show at Contemporary Fine Arts with recent sculptures. Georg Herold was born in 1947 in Jena and lives in Cologne.

Dahlem, born 1974 in Munich, studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dusseldorf and currently lives in Berlin. "Dahlems spatial installations refer to scientific phenomena and theories, spanning from relativity theory, quantum theory, psychology, philosophy, science fiction to alchemy. Even if his concepts involve quarks and electromagnetic fields, star constellations and rocket constructions, they are playful mechanical settings of an uncertain and unstable parallel world and have not evolved out of high-tech spirit or an unbroken belief in scientific progress. The trash materials Dahlem uses and the virtuosity of his "space/world" settings are beyond anything the viewer might be lead to expect from concepts such as "Black Hole" or "elementary particles". Where Dahlem tries to reach the stars, he constructs - instead of sterile laboratory devices gleaming with chrome - provisory situations and experimental scientific settings which already seem to comprise the failure of the experiment. According to Dahlem, this scepticism is characteristic of his generation. The end of the great utopian theories that have shaped the 20th century has left its mark on young artists. The belief in an "objective" view of the world is shattered. By applying scientific theories to art, Dahlem does not see himself as an "artist who goes into science", but rather perceives his models as parameters for existential questions such as "What am I made of, where do I come from?" etc.

Georg Herold and Markus Oehlen
The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release January 1993 PROJECTS: GEORG HEROLD AND MARKUS OEHLEN February 6 - March 23, 1993 The Museum of Modern Art opens its next PROJECTS exhibition with the first museum showing in New York of recent work by German artists Georg Herold and Markus Oehlen on February 6, 1993. Organized by Robert Storr, Curator, Department of Painting and Sculpture, PROJECTS: GEORG HEROLD AND MARKUS OEHLEN features strange and inventive objects and images in a variety of mediums. The exhibition remains on view through March 23. Herold and Oehlen are both members of what might be called the third postwar generation of artists in Germany (Joseph Beuys, for example, represents the first, Jbrg Immendorf, Anselm Kiefer, Sigmar Polke, and Gerhard Richter the second). Although their backgrounds differ -- Herold grew up in the East and Oehlen in the West of a divided Germany -- they have in common an appreciation of the absurd that lends their work its disconcerting physicality and its wit. Concentrating on the recent sculpture of both artists and including paintings and wall constructions, the exhibition highlights both the similarities in their basic sensibilities and the vivid differences in their work. The three sculptures that are the centerpiece of this exhibition include Oehlen's two untitled pieces from 1990 and Herold's single work from 1992, titled Pfannkuchentheorie (Cluster Theory). The surrounding paintings and reliefs represent other dimensions of the artists' activities. In his brochure essay, Mr. Storr writes that "...Oehlen and Herold are most at ease 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y.

New Work: Georg Herold
6f OR6 Hf ROlU NEW WORK SAN FRANCISCO MUSEUM OF MODERN ART The Bow, 1989 NEW WORK: GEORG HEROLD MAY 3 - JUNE 24, 1990 Born in Jena, East Germany, in 1947, Georg Herold studied art for four years in Halle before attempting to escape to the West in 1973. He was captured and jailed, but nine months later, th rough the efforts of the West German government, he was freed with a number of others convicted of similarcrimes. Herold went to Munich, where he continued to study art for two years, and then settled in Hamburg. There he attended the Academy of Fine Arts, where he studied with Sigmar Polke, among others, and met Albert Oehlen, Martin Kippenberger: and Werner Buttner. Although Herold's work has often been discussed together with that of his three artist friends, with each of whom he has held two-person exhibitions, the resemblances between them are not great. Oehlen and Buttner are first of all painters, and Kippenberger has been primarily a painter until relatively recently; Herold practices the art only intermir· tently. Their artistic alliance is more a matter of their approach to art itself- irreverent and occasionally sardonic - than stylistic affinities in the usual sense. Herold's relationship with Sigmar Polke is another matter. For example, Herold's sculpture entitled Diirer's Rabbit of 1984 is an interpretation of the best-loved work of art in Germany, worked out in stacks of wood lath, that shares its parodic intent with Po Ike's painting of the same subject from 1968. More recently, the caviar paintings Herold has made over the last two or three years clearly refer to Polke's paintings over the last decade, many of which, such as 1he Spines That Lend Strength Are Invisible, Ill: Nickel (1988, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art} are made with unadulterated minerals covered with resin.

Press Release Markus Oehlen
Press Release Markus Oehlen – CELTIC FUNK ETCETERA December 14, 2019 – February 28, 2020 Opening December 13th, 6 – 8 PM Karma International is pleased to present CELTIC FUNK ETCETERA, Markus Oehlen’s first exhibition with the gallery in Los Angeles. In this new body of work, the German painter’s signature style of collaged images and acrylic paint has created a frenetic postmodernist pastiche embodying the contemporary paradox of identity’s reduction to a collection of cultural references plucked from the world without context. Raked lines of semi- translucent acrylic top the flat works like gleaming grooves on a record, their stark rigidity boxing in the motifs only broken by expressive dashes of the artist’s brush purposefully marring the surface. Within the playful juxtapositions of the quotidian and the abstract, this is where life meets manufacture—curve meets line, tooth meets paste, pain meets pill. Emerging as an ingenious response to being bedbound and unable to resume his decades-long studio practice, Oehlen’s use of digital imagery comes from the need to express and create rather than purely the need to innovate. Each photo-paper clip comes exclusively from a digital library of photos taken by the artist, often manipulated through a series of iPhone editing apps, printers, and scanners. In Self-portrait (Pizza backend?), the artist’s face is transmutated into an oil-slick swirl with a heatmap filter as a disembodied arm reaches down into a sun-like circle, stitching together the fragmented body in an atemporal nonspace of color with a bit of tongue-in-cheek.

Greene Naftali Is Pleased to Present a Solo Exhibition of New Paintings By
Greene Naftali is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new paintings by Guenther Foerg, marking the first gallery presentation of the artists work in New York in over a decade. This exhibition, comprised of twelve large-scale paintings completed from 2007 to 2009, is Foerg's first at the gallery. His work has been shown at Galerie Max Hetzler, Galerie Gisela Capitain, and Galerie Barbel Grasslin as well as major museums including the Stedelijk Museum, Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, and Kunsthaus Bregenz. Foerg's work was last exhibited in New York at Luhring Augustine in 2000. A well-known figure in the 1980s, Foerg is a key member of an influential generation of German artists including Martin Kippenberger, Albert Oehlen, and Georg Herold. His distinct investigations into the Bauhaus and Modernism take painterly issues into the realms of architecture, sculpture, and photography to reflect on both individual experience and historical memory. Foerg took the Cologne school sensibility, associated with an embrace of ironic distancing, to his own ends by pursuing an intellectual painting practice that offers the possibility of subjectivity and autonomy, stating that abstract art today is what one sees and nothing more. The recent paintings in this exhibition mark a stylistic departure from Foerg's signature lead paintings of the 80s, which have been widely exhibited in the US. His commitment to pure painterly abstraction coupled with a longstanding dialogue with Minimalism is evident in the canvases on view. By reducing the act of painting to its most elemental gesture, monumentalized on a human scale, Foerg activates his floating, rhythmic brushstrokes with a physical presence.
