Umbrella by Lothar Hempel - 2006

Anton Kern Gallery, 2006. Book. Near Fine. Soft cover. 1st Edition.. Oversized soft cover exhibition catalog. "Like loosely bound molecules, the elements of Lothar Hempel's exhibition vigorously interplay. For his sixth solo show at the Anton Kern Gallery, the Cologne based artist brought together a group of figure paintings, collages, and a large sculptural installation including a twelve-foot rowboat. Hempel chose the human body in motion (with all its theatrical associations and uncertainties) as the premise of the work. He combines materials in unexpected ways and thus makes the coolness of the work's execution enter an emotive dance with the expressive richness of the human body. The exhibition reverberates in an atmosphere of overtones that subtly create additional meanings and nuances." Quite incommon..
