Where it came from
This monograph serves as an essential survey of the work of Werner Büttner, a pivotal figure in the German Neo-Expressionist movement of the 1980s. Published in conjunction with Galerie Max Hetzler, the volume captures the artist's acerbic, intellectually rigorous approach to painting, which often utilized irony and historical allusion to deconstruct the rigid social and political structures of post-war West Germany.
The publication documents a period defined by the 'Neue Wilde' or 'New Fauves' movement, characterized by a return to gestural, expressive figuration. The design and editorial direction reflect the aesthetic sensibilities of the contemporary Berlin art scene, aiming to contextualize Büttner’s satirical narratives within the broader landscape of European contemporary art, ultimately securing his reputation as a master of provocative, conceptually charged visual art.
