Albert Oehlen - Signed Exhibition poster

2001

This striking hand-signed exhibition poster was created for Albert Oehlen's solo exhibition “Hannover  zeigt Malerei und Grafik….von Albert Oehlen” at Kestner Gesellschaft, Hannover, 2001. Hand signed by Albert Oehlen lower right. Sheet size : 77 x 59.4 cm.

Known for his radical approach to painting and digital experimentation, Oehlen (1954) is one of the most influential contemporary German artists. The artwork on the poster embodies Oehlen's signature blend of pop culture, surrealism, and abstraction, featuring a collage-like composition of a sunlit beach scene with semi-realistic and digitally altered elements. The inclusion of the yellow cylindrical object labeled "Terminale Erfrischung" introduces an unexpected contrast, evoking themes of consumerism, advertising, and modern visual culture.

Albert Oehlen´s work challenges the conventions of painting by integrating distorted images, bold color schemes, and unconventional compositions. His influence spans across generations, and his works are held in renowned collections such as The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Centre Pompidou, and the Art Institute of Chicago. 

With Oehlen’s increasing prominence in the international art market, his signed exhibition pieces are becoming highly sought after.
