Hansjörg Dobliar
The Delicate Deformation
Hansjörg Dobliar’s captivating collages present new and unexpected pictorial content as the artist transforms other media with original verve. In this beautifully produced volume, viewers see Dobliar’s acrylic or lacquer treatment of templates from vintage issues of Italian magazines Epoca and Oggi – the Us magazines of their day. The young artist, who divides his time between Berlin and Munich, invites us into the Valley of the Dolls to admire large-format portraits of Sharon Tate that oscillate between reality and fiction, the recognizable and the unrecognizable. Dobliar is a provocateur who is willing to admit that Tate, once the wife of Roman Polanski, owes her iconic status to her gruesome murder at the hands of the Manson Family, an event that heralded the hippie movement’s loss of innocence.

GÜNTHER FÖRG
Retour
This volume of over 100 pastels by eminent German painter Günther Förg is simply breathtaking. The artist presents soft, schematic surfaces upon color field compositions made up of hard lines. When he fixes the sheet and shakes off the residual pigment, it leaves a very fine, scarcely perceptible veil over the work. Thus from time to time the palette of color oscillates from heavy to light via bright and crazy to bulging and full, compelling the observer to flip from page to page, comparing, remembering, seeing in a new way. Günther Förg’s abstraction in its most extreme form captivates every observer’s concentration. With a text by Rudi Fuchs.
