„Larry Clark by Albrecht Fuchs“ translates a photographic portrait into painting: its starting point is a picture by the photographer Albrecht Fuchs depicting the American photographer and filmmaker Larry Clark. The title openly names this chain of authorship, making the shift from documentary photograph to painted quotation its very subject. The small-format work thus sits at the intersection of Pop Art and media appropriation that is characteristic of Wohnseifer’s painting.
About the Artist Johannes Wohnseifer
Johannes Wohnseifer (b. 1967 in Cologne) moves assuredly between media: video, photography, sculpture, installation and acrylic painting all belong to his work. Shaped by Minimalism and Pop Art, he combines Pop's fascination with commercial imagery and Minimalism's critique of mass consumption. Since 2007 Wohnseifer has been professor of painting and sculpture at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne. Solo exhibitions have taken him to the Museum Ludwig in Cologne (1999), the Sprengel Museum Hannover (2003) and the Hara Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo (2005); in 2001 he received the ars viva prize. He lives and works in Cologne and Erftstadt.
