Lot Essay

"For twenty years now, Rudolf Stingel has probed and subverted the rules of traditional painting, investigating 
its boundaries, surfaces, and materials... Stingel has sought to strike a balance between conceptual rigor and the retinal sensuality of painting, between detachment and participation, even between decorativeness and mental purity. His art embodies the paradox of loving painting but wanting to destroy it—or, in any case, to bend it 
to serve new and unexpected purposes" -Massimiliano Gioni (M. Gioni, "The People's Painting: How to Understand Rudolf Stingel's Crowdsourced Magnum Opus," Phaidon Artspace, digital).
