KIPPENBERGER

The first individual exhibition of the German artist Martin Kippenberger (Dortmund 1953 – Vienna 1997) at a Spanish museum displays a total of one hundred paintings, sculptures and drawings. The works are selected from two of the finest collections of the artist’s work in the world: those of publisher Benedikt T aschen and fellow-artist Albert Oehlen. Kippenberger’s art has been posthumously exhibited at several of the most important artistic events of the last few decades, including the Documenta X in Kassel, Germany; the Skulptur in Münster, Germany; the Kunsthalle in Basel, Switzerland; and, most recently, museum shows in Karlsruhe, Germany, Vienna, Austria and Eindhoven, the Netherlands.
