Edited by Uta Grosenick, Daniel Marzona. Text by Rainer Fuchs, Eva Meyer-Hermann.
Teetering on the brink of compositional unity, the paintings of Magnus Plessen (born 1967) veer deftly between their material application and figuration, in scraped, blocky strokes, so that the image appears to have labored its way, with a physical effort, onto the surface of the canvas. This new monograph collects all 100 of his paintings to date, done since his transition to painting from photography.
