The current exhibition at Sprüth Magers Berlin presents a retrospective look at the work of the German artist Axel Kasseböhmer, who passed away last year. The show takes over the whole Berlin gallery and features many paintings that have long been inaccessible to the public. The exhibition’s main focus is the Walchensee (Lake Walchen) series. Axel Kasseböhmer created the series during the last years of his life.
Axel Kasseböhmer studied at the Art Academy in Düsseldorf where he studied under Joseph Beuys and Gerhard Richter. Kasseböhmer's breakthrough came with a series of enigmatic oil paintings featuring enlarged details from historical paintings. Axel Kasseböhmer (1952-2017) lived and worked in Munich. His works have been shown in institutions including Deichtorhallen, Hamburg; Guggenheim Museum, New York; ICA, Boston; Kunsthalle, St. Gallen; Kunstmuseum Düsseldorf; Kunstverein München; Leopold-Hoesch-Museum, Düren; Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt; Museum Ludwig, Cologne; Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt; The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Axel Kasseböhmer’s paintings are in various collections including MoMA, New York; Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt and Pinakotheken, Munich.
