Anselm Reyle: Teenage Wasteland

Anselm Reyle in Heilbronn

Anselm Reyle is one of the most internationally renowned German artists of his generation. Born in Tübingen and raised in Heilbronn, he has exhibited throughout the Kunsthalle Vogelmann (8/7-23/10/2022). The list of his exhibition venues reads like a Who's Who of the art world: from the Kunsthalle Zürich to the Palazzo Grassi in Venice, from the Deichtorhallen Hamburg to the Kunsthalle Tübingen. His collaborations, e.g. with Dior for an exclusive handbag series, are legendary. Anselm Reyle mixes styles, colours and materials in an astonishing way, working with car paint, PVC and mirror foil, spray paint, LED lights, concrete or clay. Found objects repeatedly play a prominent role in his work as source material, whereby these can be elements from the works of other artists as well as everyday objects, architecture or even design. Reflection, appropriation, reformulation and reformulation accordingly determine his working methods. The viewer is caught up in the surprising beat of contrasting formal and material samplings, in which the entire repertoire of modern abstract pictorial invention can be found. The book shows the expansive wall works created on site in Heilbronn, presents the latest series of works with pictures on burlap and also takes a retrospective look at Anselm Reyle's earlier work.

Exhibition:
