COLOR ASIDE
Painting in a limited palette:
Albert Oehlen, Christopher Wool, Norbert Schwontkowski, Josh Smith, George Condo and Carlos Amorales
Luhring Augustine is pleased to present Color Aside, a group show of painters who explore the possibilities and restrictions of a limited palette. The exhibition will open on November 4th and run through December 23rd, and will include the work of six painters, Albert Oehlen, Christopher Wool, Norbert Schwontkowski, Josh Smith, George Condo and Carlos Amorales.
This show explores the various processes involved in the act of painting. Each of these artists approach the canvas in a very different way, but this particular group of paintings are united by the fact that they use very little color and resort instead to ranges of tonal value. By exempting color from these compositions, the painters are forced to communicate their ideas through pattern, texture and composition and avoid indulging in color as an expressive tool. Several paintings in this show conflate printing and painting, using mechanical means to remove the hand from the canvas and create cooler disengaged images. Other paintings demonstrate more heartfelt and emotional brushwork. By eliminating color, these artists set up strict limitations on the range of the paint

"Many thanks to all of the painters"
Awards ceremony by the Stiftung Dieter Krieg (Dieter Krieg Foundation)
"Many thanks to all of the painters" - this is the title of an audiotape Dieter Krieg made in 1975/76, which runs 147 hours and 20 minutes. Eight female and eleven male voices read out in alphabetical order the first and last names of all of the artists listed in the 36 volumes of the Thieme-Becker encyclopedia. This homage to all artists is now the title of the artist prize sponsored by the Stiftung Dieter Krieg, to be awarded for the first time in 2012--in honor of Dieter Krieg's 75th birthday. The prizewinner - nominated by the curators at Kolumba - is the artist Norbert Schwontkowski, born in 1949, who lives in Bremen. The prize money will go to purchase works by this Bremen artist for the Kolumba collection. The awards ceremony will take place in the Dieter Krieg room of the exhibition "thinking". Admission is free on this occasion.
