Beschreibung:

Berlin Zeitgeist! A selection from the Adam Lindemann collection of contemporary German art Jonathan Meese Fräulein Einhorn 2006 Ceramic in two parts. 85.1 x 24.8 x 33 cm (33 1/2 x 9 3/4 x 13 in). Signed and dated ‘Meese 2006’ on the reverse of the head.
Provenance Contemporary Fine Arts, Berlin Catalogue Essay “Meese, the latter-day saint, we are invited to think, might actually be on a par with Saint-Just, Robespierre, Richard Wagner Nietzsche, Rimbaud, Hitler, H. P. Lovecraft, and perhaps even Satan himself. This, though, would be to say nothing of Beuys, Klaus Kinsky, Christopher Lee Sam Raimi, Che Guevara, Steve McQueen and Claudia Schiffer – all of whose names feature copiously in a succession of (quite possibly appropriately) hubristic streams of hyperbole.” (Luke Heighton, book review of Jonathan Meese’s Mama Johnny, Art Review, June 2007, p. 158) Read More
