Here is an energy in which pleasure, humour and elegance rub shoulders with anger, ugliness and brutality. At the heart of the storm, where you know you are alive, it becomes possible to paint. (Anne Pontégnie, introductory essay) Albert Oehlen (born 1954 in Krefeld, West Germany) is a contemporary German artist. These works are given luxury treatment in this volume, which offers nine of the eleven paintings in superbly printed full-colour gatefolds. Published on the occasion of the exhibition ALBERT OEHLEN (Paintings 2004 – 2005) at Galerie Max Hetzler, Berlin, 29 April – 2 July 2011.
