- Formerly part of the Günther Förg Collection. - Bad Boy: Together with Martin Kippenberger, Albert Oehlen shaped the art of an entire generation with his rebellious, provocative works. - Oehlen's works from this period are among his most celebrated and sought-after pieces on the international auction market (source: artprice.com). - “Disco” combines the artist's two great passions: painting and electronic music. - “dansen, grinsen, bumsen” (dance, grin, bang) is a bold and blunt expression of the nonconformist attitude of the punk and art scene at the time. - Albert Oehlen's paintings are part of the world's most prestigious museum collections, including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Centre Pompidou, Paris, the Tate Gallery, London, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
