HARTMUT BÖHM : Wandzeichnungen

4 Dec 2009-17 Jan 2010

Overview

Bartha Contemporary is delighted to announce the forthcoming solo exhibition by German artist Hartmut Bőhm (b. 1938). The artist's second solo show with the gallery entitled 'Wandzeichnungen' will showcase site-specific wall drawings, a key aspect in the artist's oeuvre. For this exhibition a series of radically pared down installations, all encompassing an element of the site-specific, will develop along the gallery's three main exhibition walls. The installation's central work entitled 'Randstand', is conceived out of four steel elements, which are arranged following a sequential system along the four side of an outlined square drawn with red pencil. This seemingly simple work - balanced and without a doubt formalistic, displays the artist's outstanding ability to create works, which continue to engage the viewer beyond the purely ephemeral.
