An Exhibition Ending May 1st You’ve Got to See at the MoMa

There is an exhibition at the MoMA that you should all check out before it ends on May 1st. Martin Kippenberger’s “The Problem Perspective” includes many of Kippenberger’s wonderfully excessive pieces. “Kippenberger’s artistic career—based in his native Germany but encompassing such far-flung locations as Florence, Madrid, Vienna, New York, Los Angeles, Rio de Janeiro, Syros, and the Yukon—was a twenty-year commitment to unrestrained excess. It began in the late 1970s, at a moment when the greatness of modern art seemed suddenly distant—a century-long celebration whose door was now closed to newcomers. Kippenberger’s response was to create his own party and cast himself as an artist-jester whose antics both disguised and permitted a piercing analysis of contemporary art and society.” Check it out.
