Martin Kippenberger Catalogue Raisonné Of The Paintings Vol.2: 1983-1986

Although Martin Kippenberger (1953-1997) was prolific in many media, it was in painting that his enduring achievements were made. His relationship to the medium was intensified by his feeling that he was working against "a perceived death of painting," and that producing anything original was an impossibility.

This second volume of the catalogue raisonné of Martin Kippenberger's paintings covers the years 1983 to 1986. Over 300 works are illustrated in colour and listed with catalogue number, title, year, technique, dimensions, inscriptions, provenance, exhibitions and bibliography. A variety of sources, historical photographs, archive materials and references by Kippenberger to works of his own and by other artists complement individual entries.

This volume covers series and groups of works such as the I.N.P. series (1984), Architectural Pictures (1984, 1985) the Opinion Pictues (1985), the 'I Love' Pictures (1985), the Profit and Cost Peaks (1985), the No Problem Pictures (1986) as well as Kippenberger's extensive artistic output following his trip to Brazil. The appendix contains a chronological list of exhibitions and literature.
