Young Bavarian Art

Gagosian Gallery Berlin, Berlin

Group Exhibition

Curated by Olaf Metzel

Gagosian Gallery Berlin is pleased to present the group exhibition YBA - Young Bavarian Art featuring works by: Benjamin Bergmann, Nick Botticher, Christian Engelmann, Beate Engl, Andrea Faciu, Alexander Laner, Florian Morlat, Stephanie Pelz, Michael Sailstorfer, Michael Schrattenthaler, Marco Schuler, Stefan Wischnewski and Martin Wohrl.

The title of the exhibition, YBA, ironically refers to the Young British Artists - an originally random group of art students - who between 1988 and the end of the 1990s turned into one of the art scene’s most hyped brands.

Curated by Olaf Metzel, the exhibition brings together thirteen primarily Munich-based artists, most of them born in the 1970s. This new generation of artists, also known as Scuola Bavarese, is remarkably focused on sculpture and broadening the genre’s boundaries and definitions. For that reason no video, photography, drawing or painting will be on view. The exhibited objects and sculptures refer to the local situation of the Gagosian Gallery, Berlin and reflect the ambience of the domestic-cum-business space.
