Karen Kilimnik»rank: 1126615by: Dominic Molon, Karen Kilimnik
: :In the 1980s, critics compared Karen Kilimnik's narrative and jumbled installations to the previous decade's 'scatter art,' they have since become cult favorites of a new generation of artists and curators. Her drawings and paintings from the early 1990s targeted then-current discussions on art and glamour, and the emergence of women artists whose sensibility was not that of feminist theory. A portrait of Hugh Grant, post-arrest, was likened to Degas, Warhol and Jim Shaw's Thrift Store Paintings. More recently she's taken up fairy-tale themes, with dashing barons, tinkling chandeliers, wolves and sleighs--a magical world in which history, myth and reality coexist. The diversity of Kilimnik's work, which has continued to ... |
Karen Kilimnik: Paintings: 1992-2000»rank: 940318by: Karen Kilimnik
: :Karen Kilimnik's delirious large-format book 'Drawings' showed us models, designer clothes, thoroughbred horses and dogs--depicting the desire for fame and the hunger for sex and drugs that animates so much of our contemporary popular culture. Now, in her new book 'Paintings', Kilimnik explores a glamorous and subversive new approach to her signature motifs. This, her second book published by Edition Patrick Frey, presents 70 delicate miniature paintings from the last five years. A romantic and melodramatic yearning colors her views of English manor houses and cursed fairy-tale castles. Empathetically, she portrays three angora cats as if they were the three Graces. Her exotic ducks remind us of Gericault's hens, while ... |

Mystery of Painting, The: Goetz Collection»rank: 1012656by: Beth Coleman, Isabelle Graw, Jessica Morgan, Kirsty Bell, Lari Pittman, Hans Rudolf Reust, Birgit Sonna, Wolf Gunter Thiel, Benjamin Weissman, Adrian Dannatt, Chris Ofili, Toba Khedoori, Ellen Gallagher, Karen Kilimnik, Udomsak Krisanamis, Sarah Morris, Laura Owens, Neo Rauch, Matthew Ritchie, Rainald Schumacher, Ingvild Goetz, Francesco Bonami
: :At various points in this past century, painting has been pronounced dead, painters have been plagued by self-doubt, the act of painting has been equated with the flogging of a dead horse, and the art of painting has been reduced to the separate ingredients of color, ground, and brushstroke. Yet each of the painters included in The Mystery of Painting treats their art form as an emancipated, proud medium that neither calls for a conceptual apology nor for external justification. Linked not by a uniform style but by a common attitude, their pictures are not images of the world but about the world. From Matthew Ritchie's scientific mythologies to Karen ... |
Karen Kilimnik's Fancy Pictures:»rank: 1220379by: Karen Kilimnik
: :Art history becomes Karen Kilimnik. As much as paint on canvas, it is the raw material of her pictures--though she wears it lightly, and with great elan. The title of this mini exhibition catalogue, published on the occasion of Kilimnik's show at London's Serpentine Gallery, derives from a popular sub-genre populated by 'link boys' and 'cottage girls.' For when looking at Kilimnik's work since the late 1980s, and especially that of the last 10 years, one cannot help but be struck by her engagement with the history of painting. In this lightly illustrated volume, Meredith Martin, a scholar of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century art, speaks with Scott Rothkopf on Kilimnik's relationship ... |

Karen Kilimnik im Haus Zum Kirschgarten: Paintings and Installations»rank: 2539922by: Karen Kilimnik
: :Kirschgarten is an extravagantly glamorous artist‘s book published on the occasion of American artist Karen Kilimnik‘s exhibition at Haus zum Kirschgarten in Basle, a museum dedicated to 18th-century domestic culture. Kilimnik‘s starting point was an unfortunate circumstance we are all familiar with: you visit a museum, you see some objects that capture your fancy, and upon leaving you find out that there‘s no postcard of them. Kilimnik seized the opportunity and created a postcard album with her favorite objects and paintings from Haus zum Kirschgarten. It‘s a booklet with a taffeta-moiré cover—some of the books are cerise, others are black—held together by three luscious, elaborately tied taffeta ribbons. Inside you ... |
