Richard Oelze : 1900-1980

12 Nov 2016-7 Jan 2017

Overview

Michael Werner Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of works by the German painter Richard Oelze (1900-1980). A reclusive and visionary artist who participated in major international exhibitions of his time, Oelze is now lost to the broader art historical consciousness. This exhibition, with more than thirty paintings and drawings, is a rare opportunity to reconsider one of the forgotten masters of Surrealist painting. Michael Werner Gallery in London will host this special survey exhibition of Oelze from 12 November 2016 through 7 January 2017. The exhibition travels to New York City where it will be presented in the gallery from 19 January through 4 March 2017.
