Couverture / Jaquette

Abstract painting has reinvented itself: rid of political and ideological burdens, it now stands for pure creative autonomy. From the Abstract Expressionism of the postwar era to today's expansive ease-in essays and conversations, Larissa Kikol sheds light on how this art form broke free of the narratives that attended its emergence and performed a "great reset." From the seminal innovations of Katharina Grosse or Albert Oehlen and radically subjectivist approaches in Cecily Brown or André Butzer to cutting-edge tendencies like Dirty Minimalism and Post Vandalism, the book presents thrilling insights into a painting that puts emotion, color, and shapes center stage. An inspiring look at the renaissance of abstract art in the 21st century and a must-have reference work for all art lovers.Artists: Frederic Anderson, Karla Black, Frank Bowling, Jenny Brosinski, André Butzer, Cecily Brown, Andreas Breunig, Jadé Fadojutimi, Katharina Grosse, Antwan Horfee, Aneta Kajzer, Michael Müller, Oscar Murillo, NUG, Albert Oehlen, David Ostrowski, Daisy Parris, Marco Pariani, Christopher Wool
