Press Release

The work of Richard Artschwager has always defied categories and continues to be marked by a spirit of nonconformity. In honor of the artist’s centennial, Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are delighted to present a solo exhibition of Artschwager’s work at the Berlin gallery. Displaying works from his ‘Crates’ (1995) and Splatter (2000–2008) series, Formica sculptures (1964–2008) and paintings (1997) alongside an exuberant Exclamation Point (2008), the show offers a synoptic overview of a practice concerned with the habits and mechanics of looking.

About the Artist

One of the most important artists to emerge during the twentieth century, Artschwager’s playful and diverse oeuvre has influenced generations of younger artists by challenging assumptions about perception and the aesthetic, material and spatial experience of art and the everyday. Spanning over forty years, Artschwager’s practice explored the mediums of sculpture, painting and drawing in order to understand the relationship between art and objects, and the environment they inhabit.
