Press Release

Katharina Grosse is one of the defining and seminal artists of her generation. Her vividly impressive artistic output has exerted a substantial and significant influence on contemporary discourse and debate in the art world. Grosse’s spectacular projects such as those displayed in her recent solo exhibitions in the Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart – Berlin, the Baltimore Museum of Art or the chi K11 art space in Shanghai are expressions of a powerfully expansive and multi- dimensional painting style. With their sweeping gesture and exuberant vitality her works trans- gress spatial and cognitive boundaries alike and call for a new culture of reception.

In her sixth solo exhibition Wolke in Form eines Schwertes [Cloud in the Form of a Sword] in our Gallery, we present eight ground-breaking works, which for the first time bring together the artist’s various modes of working: painting on canvas, as produced in her studio, is now conjoined with elements of her in situ work practices. Branches, twigs and driftwood are incorporated into the classic support or substrate and grow together to form complex, straddling structures.

In conjunction with the exhibition an approx. 100-page booklet will be published in June 2021 with articles by the philosopher Ludger Schwarte and the art historian Luca Cerizza.
