Life After Death: New Leipzig Paintings From

SITE Santa Fe, Santa Fe

The Rubell Family Collection

Santa Fe, NM—- SITE Santa Fe is pleased to present the exhibition Life After Death: New Leipzig Paintings from the Rubell Family Collection on view from April 22 - June 4, 2006. The exhibition includes over 60 works by: Tilo Baumgartel, Tim Eitel, Martin Kobe, Neo Rauch, Christoph Ruckhaberle, David Schnell, and Matthias Weischer. There will be a media preview of the exhibition on Thursday, April 20, from 11 am to 12 noon. There will be a free public opening on Friday, April 21, from 5 to 7 pm. The exhibition is made possible in part by Christie’s Fine Art Auctioneers.

In December 2000, a group of five young German artists, all recent graduates of the prestigious Leipzig Art Academy, organized a small exhibition of their works in Leipzig. Unsurprisingly, the exhibition attracted no notice from the international contemporary art community. From that humble beginning, the “New Leipzig School" has expanded to a dozen artists and has grown to be an international phenomenon-its painters making work that has museums and collectors in its thrall.

SITE will present several programs related to the Leipzig exhibition. On Tuesday, April 25, at 6 pm, Mark Coetzee and Laura Heon will have a conversation about their experience in organizing the exhibition and the significance of this important and influential body of work.
