Berlin Zeitgeist! A selection from the Adam Lindemann collection of contemporary German art Thomas Zipp Fahnentraegerin 2003 Oil on canvas, paper collage, wood, fabric. 69.9 x 60.3 cm (27 1/2 x 23 3/4 in). Signed and dated "Thomas Zipp 2003" on the reverse of the painting.
Provenance Marc Jancou Contemporary, New York Catalogue Essay Influenced by Futurism, Cubism, Surrealism and early abstract art, Thomas Zipp is one of the most important German artists of our time. Although working across a wide range of media, Zipp is primarily a painter with a wan aesthetic that calls to mind the dour imaginings of Luc Tuymans Despite being embedded with references to the avant-garde of the early 20th century, Zipp’s paintings tint the world with a bleak palette of dark tones. Mainly choosing from a spectrum of grey scales, the German artist expresses his very particular view of human culture. With a god-like authority, Zipp juxtaposes various systems of thought through which humanity has attempted to understand the world. Uncovering hidden connections between religion, history, science and politics, Zipp calls conventional readings into question whilst retaining a playful sense of humour. Read More
