Martin Kippenberger at SKARSTEDT Markus Lüpertz at MICHAEL

Описание: James Kalm has recently taken a brief hiatus from regularly posting video programs to his YouTube channels so he could up-grade some of his camera equipment and skills…(Cameras, gimbals, stabilizing and video editing programs etc.)
While scanning upcoming and open exhibitions throughout the city, your correspondent noticed an alignment of a couple of shows by significant German painters. This motivated him to pedal to the Upper East Side for the first time this year.
Martin Kippenberger Paintings 1984-1996 at Skarstedt is a brief yet potent reminder of why this artist is considered one of the most talented and witty painters of the late twentieth century. Although tragic in his life story, Kippenberger created a body if work that exposes his own weaknesses, presents challenges to iconic artists like Picasso, and demonstrates his formal skill as a mischievous provocateur as well as a designer.
Markus Lüpertz has been recognized as a founder of the Neue Wilden, and a Neo-Avantguardist since the mid-1970s. Ironically since then, this “New Beast” has progressed into the past, to present works that meld the most advanced notions of the present state of painting with a distinct sense its own history.
