Anselm Reyle "Monochrome Age"
Gagosian Gallery 24th Street
This event has ended.
Reyle finds inspiration in his immediate environment, from the typical socialist architecture that dominates much of the landscape of post-war Germany to the flea-market finds that signify the march of global capitalism. Conflating all manner of extant social artifact with motifs from the annals of recent art history, he imbues them with new vigor and decorative allure. He works with found objects from diverse cultural backgrounds, treating and displaying them equivalently and without further comment. By reifying the cast-off material culture that surrounds him, he indicates its shifting signification in a country that has had such seismic effects on the social and political developments of the twentieth century.
