In this abstract painting the colour orange predominates. However, this orange is overlaid by pastose brush strokes and drippings, as well as by shreds of sackcloth at the right, lower edge of the picture. All in all, the canvas seems to expand, which is partly due to the painting ground, which is uneven and has an increased materiality.

Sammlung Goetz

Fabian Marcaccio – Jessica Stockholder

October 12, 1998 – March 27, 1999

Fabian Marcaccio and Jessica Stockholder work at the juncture between painting and sculpture. With over 50 works, the exhibition in Sammlung Goetz provides a glimpse into the work of the two New York artists.

The exploration and crossing of borders is the main focus of Fabian Marcaccio and Jessica Stockholer's works. The two artists masterfully combine painting with found materials, thus defying traditional genre definitions. "Sometimes I feel as though I would be creating a material film and the actors are pictorial, photographic and sculptural elements," says Marcaccio about his artistic strategy in a conversation with Stockholder.

The exhibition in Sammlung Goetz presents large-scale, colorful installations, painting-sculptures, luxuriant paintings, photographs and drawings created by the two New York artists between 1988 and 1998. Despite their formally similar approaches, their contrary artistic positions become clear. In his confrontation with the medium of painting, Marcaccio expands into the spatial realm. Stockholder's intention, on the other hand, is to give meaning to the objects and actions in her material collages.

Barbara Kasten. Works

Sammlung Goetz BASE 103

Autumn/Winter 2021

The American artist Barbara Kasten has created an impressive artistic oeuvre over her career spanning from the 1970s to the present. At the center of Kasten’s work are her abstract, geometric color photographs from the 1980s, which explore the interplay of light and dark and afford new spatial experiences. The Sammlung Goetz, which has extensive holdings of works by Kasten, is mounting the artist’s first solo exhibition in Europe in cooperation with the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg. A selection of the extensive retrospective will be on view in the Sammlung Goetz in Munich.
