Rudolf Stingel: New Works
Margo Leavin Gallery, Los Angeles
7 September – 5 October 1996
Margo Leavin Gallery presents an exhibition of recent works by Rudolf Stingel. The exhibition, which marks Rudolf Stingel’s first one-person show at Margo Leavin Gallery, includes paintings, sculpture, and a large-scale installation.
This exhibition is an experience of vibrant color. The viewer is initially encounter a large-scale installation of hand-dyed and hand-seamed carpet. It is the artist’s intention for the viewer to pass through the overwhelming color installation into a more traditional gallery space where a selection of new paintings is installed. The
paintings are follow the artist’s published technique of employing thick oil paint, a compressed air gun, a spatula, and gauze fabric to create beautiful, monochrome fields of aggressive color on canvas.
Rudolf Stingel’s work has been the subject of a solo exhibition at Kunsthalle in Zurich and has been included in exhibitions at the Forum for Contemporary Art, St. Louis, Missouri; the Neue Galerie am Landesmuseum Joanneum, Graz, Austria; the 1993 Venice Biennale; and the Museum Friedericianum, Kassel, Germany.
