Albert Oehlen
Albert Oehlen – The Definitive TASCHEN Monograph
Fearless, irreverent, and endlessly inventive — Albert Oehlen has transformed abstraction into a field of constant reinvention. This expansive TASCHEN art book presents more than 400 works spanning his career, from early provocations of the 1980s to his most recent large-scale paintings, collages, and digital experiments.
With mirror paintings, grayscale canvases, wild color explosions, pixelated computer works, finger paintings, and monumental charcoal drawings, Oehlen constantly pushes boundaries. He turns slogans into abstraction, code into composition, and challenges every artistic convention with wit and audacity.
Highlights:
- Over 400 works including paintings, collages, and digital pieces
- Insightful essays and interviews with critics, curators, and Oehlen himself
- Contributions from Roberto Ohrt, John Corbett, Alexander Klar, and Martin Prinzhorn
- A deep dive into Oehlen’s experimental strategies and his role in the 1980s German art scene
Updating TASCHEN’s celebrated Collector’s Edition, this richly illustrated monograph is the most comprehensive survey of Oehlen’s work to date. A must-have for collectors, art students, and anyone fascinated by contemporary abstraction.
