"Ironic,
provocative, witty—since his beginnings in New York’s East Village in
the early 1980s American artist George Condo has produced a distinctive
body of work. His paintings, characterized by mordant humor,
surrealist-tinged absurdity, and exuberant pathos, make repeated
reference to the traditions of American and European art history of the
last 500 years, from Velázquez by way of Picasso to Gorky. In
partnership with the Hayward Gallery in London, the SCHIRN is pleased to
present the first comprehensive retrospective in Germany of Condo’s
art. Condo works in a style that can be described as artificial realism,
and both his paintings and sculptures display his ongoing examination
of human physiognomy and all-too-human mental states. Organized
thematically and stylistically in groups, sixty-six important paintings
from different creative periods, as well as a selection of roughly ten
sculptures and new works by the artist will be exhibited at the SCHIRN."
