Martin Kippenberger

Museum of Contemporary Art - MOCA, Los Angeles

curated by Ann Goldstein

One of the most significant and influential artists of our time, German artist Martin Kippenberger (1953–97) produced a complex and richly varied body of work from the mid-1970s until his untimely death in 1997 at the age of 44. Kippenberger’s life and work were inextricably linked in an exceptional practice that centered on the role of the artist in the culture and within the system of art. With references, subjects, and sources as wide-ranging and diverse as his production, his oeuvre examined and expanded upon that role as he also cast himself as impresario, entertainer, curator, collector, architect, and publisher. The first major retrospective exhibition to be mounted in the United States, Martin Kippenberger: The Problem Perspective includes key selections and bodies of work from Kippenberger’s entire career: paintings, sculpture, works on paper, installations, multiples, photographs, posters, announcement cards, and books.

This ambitious, large-scale exhibition is curated by MOCA Senior Curator Ann Goldstein and accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue— published by MOCA and co-published by the MIT Press—which constitutes a comprehensive and scholarly examination of the artist’s career. The exhibition travels to The Museum of Modern Art, New York (MoMA), where it is on view from March 1 to May 11, 2009.

Martin Kippenberger: The Problem Perspective is made possible by endowment support from the Sydney Irmas Exhibition Endowment.
