Adrian Ghenie: Battlefield Studio: The Works on Paper - Paperback

by Adrian Ghenie (Artist), Björn Egging (Text by (Art/Photo Books)), Jan-Markus Göttsch (Text by (Art/Photo Books))

Ghenie's haunting, grotesque drawings and collages expand upon his ideology of estrangement through montage and abstraction

The gloomy backgrounds and deformed characters in the works of Adrian Ghenie (born 1977) are inspired by the catastrophes of the 20th century, which the artist describes as an era of "humiliation." In his recent series of collages and charcoal drawings, Ghenie shifts his focus to the crises of the 21st century.
