Martin Kippenberger: Eggman II

Text by Alan Licht.
Published by Skarstedt Gallery

One of the most versatile and prolific artists of the postwar era, Martin Kippenberger (1953–1997) has been the subject of numerous major exhibitions since his premature death at the age of 44. The last exhibition in his lifetime took place at the Städtisches Museum Abteiberg, in Mönchengladbach, Germany, and was titled Der Eiermann und seine Ausleger (The Eggman and his Outriggers). This publication focuses on nine paintings, a group of drawings and one sculpture that formed the center of this final exhibit, all of which were made in the last three years of Kippenberger’s life. These works explore the motif of the egg--a key theme throughout the artist’s career, deployed to variously reference rebirth, reproduction and circularity, and also used as a comic device: in one self-portrait, Kippenberger depicts himself as an eggman whose torso has expanded well beyond its youthful contours.

Kippenberger meets Picasso

Edited by Eva Meyer-Hermann.
Published by Walther König, Köln

Kippenberger Meets Picassoincludes color reproductions of works as well as archival photographs.

Kippenberger

The Artist and His Families

By Susanne Kippenberger. Translated by Damion Searls.
Published by J&L Books

Over the course of his 20-year career, Martin Kippenberger (1953-1997) cast himself alternately as hard-drinking carouser and confrontational art-world jester, thrusting these personae to the forefront of his prodigious creativity. He was also very much a player in the international art world of the 1970s right up until his death in 1997, commissioning work from artists such as Jeff Koons and Mike Kelley, and acting as unofficial ringleader to a generation of German artists. Written by the artist's sister, Susanne Kippenberger, this first English-language biography draws both from personal memories of their shared childhood and exhaustive interviews with Kippenberger's extended family of friends and colleagues in the art world. Kippenbergergives insight into the psychology and drive behind this playful and provocative artist.

Martin Kippenberger: Modell

Utopia for Everyone

Edited by Peter Pakesch. Text by Daniel Birnbaum, Martin Prinzhorn, Elisbeth Hirschmann.
Published by Walther König, Köln

Painter Christopher Wool has written, “Some of the best stand-up performance I ever saw was Martin [Kippenberger] telling jokes in the back of some bar or restaurant.” Which is not to dismiss the legendary German artist, who was at the forefront of the much-storied Cologne art scene of the early 1990s--Kippenberger, who died in 1997, used humor like a laser, to illuminate power structures and taboos. One of the most important artists of the twentieth century, he not only worked in a variety of media--painting, sculpture, books and multiples--but, taking a cue from Joseph Beuys, actively tried to conceive new possibilities on which to model an art practice. This volume, published for an exhibition at Austria’s acclaimed Kunsthaus Graz, includes incisive essays by curator and critic Daniel Birnbaum and linguist and writer Martin Prinzhorn, which examine the softer, more utopian side of the artist.

Martin Kippenberger

Friedrich Christian Flick Collection

Essay by Manfred Hermes. Foreword by Friedrich Christian Flick.
Published by Dumont

Beginning in the late 70s, Martin Kippenberger conceived his work as a point of intersection between artistic contexts and circulating ideas. With his characteristic blend of refinement and extreme crudity, he left very few of the problems and methods of twentieth-century art untouched. Via a postmodernist disposition, one combining humor, direct reference, communicativeness and body politics, Kippenberger seized upon the central artistic questions of the late twentieth century like virtually no other artist of his generation, and translated them into complex structures of communications. This is a beautiful and excitingly designed monograph containing reproductions of paintings, works on paper, sculpture, photographs and installation work, as well as a very strong reading of Kippenberger's work by Manfred Hermes. All of the work reproduced here is in the collection of Friedrich Christian Flick, one of the best in-depth assemblages of contemporary art in the world.

Martin Kippenberger: The Bermuda Triangle

Syros, Paris Bar, and Dawson City

Edited by Tim Nye. Essays by Carol Eckman and David Nolan, and Michael Würthle.
Published by nyehaus/foundation 20 21

Martin Kippenberger's trickster aesthetic was aided and abetted by the owners of his famed Berlin hangout, the Paris Bar. One proprietor, Michael Würthle, provided Kippenberger with a place to make art at his family's house on the island of Syros, Greece; the other, Reinald Nohal, owned a summer retreat in Canada's Yukon Territory, which the artist visited. In those two remote locations, Kippenberger conceived his worldwide subway network, Metro-Net, and built the first two entrances, should anyone decide to do the rest of the underground excavation and construction. The Bermuda Triangle documents in detail the planning and execution of this piece by the late high-art prankster, and reproduces the varied, accomplished, sometimes hilarious and devastatingly human drawings from the 80s and 90s, mostly on hotel stationery, from Würthle's collection. Its witty design is one Kippenberger would certainly have appreciated, its two volumes accompanied by a 'guerilla marketing kit' of two posters and an “I [heart] Kippenberger” bumper sticker, all contained in a cardboard box that converts to a display stand.
