ART OF THE WEEK
3 - 9 February 2014
Kippenberger's playful, provocative and boozy public persona was matched by his rich output in a wide range of media and styles. In comparing himself to Pablo Picasso in white oversized underwear, Kippenberger references US photographer David Douglas Duncan’s 1962 picture of the Spaniard in a similar garment. Ohne Titel (Untitled) unflatteringly explores masculinity, artistic fame and the ageing process. The exhibition runs from 16 November 2013 - 31 March 2014.
