Martin Kippenberger Art
German, 1953-1997
For two prolific decades, Martin Kippenberger critiqued consumerism, pop culture, and art world status quo with provocative Neo-Expressionist paintings, sculptures, photographs, collages, and installations. Drawing from disparate art historical references including Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, Sigmar Polke, Pop art, Social Realism, and punk, he remixed old styles to generate wild, funny, and new modes of artmaking. Kippenberger is known for self-portraits in which he riffed on historical paintings and often appropriated others’ work outright. In 1987, he turned a monochrome canvas by Gerhard Richter into a coffee table. For his series “Lieber Maler, Male Mir” (“Dear Painter, Paint for Me,” 1981), Kippenberger commissioned a sign painter in Berlin named Werner to produce several works for him; he then credited them to “Werner Kippenberger.” During his brief lifetime, Kippenberger exhibited extensively in Europe and the United Statesto

Kippenberger's Wall Street is full of biting social commentary about American society. In addition to the brazen text references (such as "I Love Peace and Money") and the title (Wall Street), it also depicts American artist Robert Gober's famous "Hanging Man/Sleeping Man: (in the permanent collection of the Hammer Museum).
"Gober’s Hanging Man/Sleeping Man has become a touchstone of American art made during the political and social upheavals of the late 1980s and early 1990s, which included the AIDS epidemic, the culture wars, and the Los Angeles riots. The work features two images side by side, one of a sleeping white man in bed...

Jean-Michel Basquiat rose to success during the 1980s. Basquiat’s paintings are largely responsible for elevating graffiti artists into the realm of the New York gallery scene. His spray-painted crowns and scribbled words referenced everything from his Haitian and Puerto Rican heritage, to political issues, pop-culture icons, and Biblical verse. The gestural marks and expressive nature of his work not only aligned him with the street art of Keith Haring and Kenny Scharf, but also the Neo-Expressionists Julian Schnabel and David Salle. “If you wanna talk about influence, man, then you've got to realize that influence is not influence,” he said of his process. After quickly rising to fame in the early 1980s, Basquiat was befriended by many celebrities and artists, including Andy Warhol, with whom he made several collaborative works. At only 27, his troubles with fame and drug addiction led to his tragic death from a heroin overdose on August 12, 1988 in New York, NY. The Whitney Museum of American Art held the artist’s first retrospective from October 1992 to February 1993.
