"This book documents two new bodies of work; a series of large four-part aluminum panel paintings incorporating Oehlen s recurring motif of trees and a series titled Finger Paintings, in which color-blocked advertisements are an extension of the canvas, providing fragmented, ready-made surfaces for Oehlen s visceral markings, made with his hands as well as with brushes, rags, and spray cans. Both series were exhibited at Gagosian Gallery ..."

"By stripping the painting down to its basic rules, by using himself as a decisive subject matter, Oehlen created a body of work that diminished the limitations of previous cultural, aesthetic, and artistic obligations made on a painter and painting. This first volume to feature all of Oehlen's early self portraits reveals his balancing of figuration with abstraction, and his simultaneous questioning of the practice and history of art. I ..."
"Continuing Albert Oehlen’s interest in posters, this volume contains loose, unbound images of ten paintings contained within a large fold-out poster set designed by the artist.Closely associated with the Cologne art scene and the Neue Wilde movement, Oehlen was also formally a member of the Lord Jim Lodge along with Martin Kippenberger, among others.The artist’s latest series of paintings vividly merge image, text and symbol in an explo ..."
"This work includes essays by Martin Clark, Rod Mengham. It also features an interview with the artist by Andrea Tarsia. Albert Oehlen's work focuses on the process of painting itself rather than any subjective expressionism or formal representation. Oehlen once said, 'I want an art where you see how it's made, not what the artist means but the traces of production'. He describes his works as 'post-non-representational', subverting tradi ..."
"The definitive monograph of Oehlen's work to dateOften wryly funny and just as smart, Albert Oehlen’s paintings play the medium for all it's worth—and then some. After realizing that the so-called death of painting freed him to explore "the number of aspects through which one could expand painting," Oehlen started work on a wide variety of figurative and non-objective offerings, in what he has called his "post-non-figurative" art. The a ..."
"Published on the occasion of the exhibition Albert Oehlen | Fabric Paintings, this catalogue includes both full plate images and details from a body of work never before shown as a group.

He abandoned the strict, formal compositions that he had produced in his early work and instead focused on the process of painting. Rather than utilizing pristi ..."

"Oehlen?s oeuvre is a testament to the innate freedom of the creative act. Unleashing this freedom through self-imposed constraints, Oehlen sets rules and boundaries in order to test the breaking point of painting itself."
"Central to his expansive oeuvre is the innate freedom of the creative act.0In many of the works, Oehlen paints over sections of black with the thinner yellow paint, producing ghostly, greenish shapes."
"Willem de KooningThis catalogue of an exhibition held at Gagosian Gallery, New York, highlights the critical three-year period, 1983-1985, in the last decade of de Kooning's long career, during which he radically transformed his style.
