Jörg Immendorff
Sculptor, painter, performance artist, and set designer, Jörg Immendorff has produced a varied body of work over the course of his career. A significant departure from his dark, dense, and politically charged tableaux of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, Immendorff’s most recent paintings employ creamy tones, spacious compositions, and imagery from the Commedia dell’arte.
Disparities and Deformations
Disparities and Deformations: Our Grotesque brought together a diverse group of contemporary artworks that respond and give new substance to the sense of emotional and logical uncertainty inherent in the grotesque, described by the 19th-century writer Jean Paul as a state of “soul dizziness.” The exhibition tracked the incongruous combination of disparate forms and ideas in the work of internationally renowned artists of different generations, coming from various cultural contexts, and working with different processes and ideas.
