Raum für phantasievolle Aktionen
Group Exhibition
Kunstmuseum Bonn
Through December 31, 2024

On the 30th anniversary of its presence along the Museum Mile, the Kunstmuseum Bonn is offering a comprehensive view of its collection of contemporary art, which is being freshly presented from new perspectives in twenty rooms. Even if the presentation shows the Kunstmuseum to be a special site for painting, fundamental roles in the argumentation are nonetheless played by installation, film and photography.

About Painting
November 12–December 20, 2024
London

The paintings of Andreas Schulze (*1955) and Salvo (1947–2015) depict intriguing worlds unlike any other. Across vibrant landscapes and eccentric interiors, their unique conceptual approaches to painting evolved over decades of experimentation with color, light and form. Working in Turin, Salvo made a radical departure from Arte Povera circles, first to text-based conceptual art and then in 1974 to painting that looked to art historical traditions from Giotto to Surrealism. In Cologne in the 1980s, Schulze developed a practice that balances representation and abstraction and draws also from the past, while infusing his surreal scenes with humor and irony. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are proud to present an exhibition of new works by Schulze alongside paintings by Salvo, bringing into focus their parallel trajectories and contributions to the discourse of contemporary painting. Originally conceived by the late Pasquale Leccese, who knew both artists intimately, this exhibition is dedicated to his memory.

Inside Out
Gallery Weekend
May 24–June 2, 2024
Beijing

Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are pleased to present Inside Out, Andreas Schulze’s first solo exhibition in Asia, on the occasion of Beijing Gallery Weekend. A key figure in contemporary painting since the 1980s, Schulze has developed a visual language all his own between abstraction and figuration, in which domestic spaces and scenic landscapes take on attitudes and proportions that are humorous, unnerving, and always unique.

Mondi Possibili highlights the interplay between art and design and explores the many ways in which experimentation with material, technique and scale can reveal the hidden narratives, quiet drama and humor in the everyday items that furnish our lives as well as our imaginations. Connected through a paradigm of the possible, all artworks on show examine familiar objects – citing, celebrating, adapting or appropriating them – offering surprising, playful or unsettling approaches that open up a range of “possible worlds.” This will be the fourth edition of Sprüth Magers’ Mondi Possibili – first titled by Pasquale Leccese – showcasing significant themes in the selected artists’ works as well as the gallery’s longstanding heritage. Its three previous iterations were presented in 1989, 2006 and 2007 in Cologne, where the gallery’s history is firmly rooted, and art and design have intersected for many decades.

Land’s End
April 14–May 20, 2023
London

Sprüth Magers is pleased to present Land’s End, Andreas Schulze's fourth solo exhibition at the London gallery. The show features works on paper: rarely shown black-and-white charcoal drawings from the 1980s are presented alongside new colored acrylic works. Together, both bodies of works highlight Schulze’s playful and experimental way of creating illusionistic, ambiguous pictorial spaces. Embedded in the UK context, the exhibition title refers to the legendary headland of Land's End in Cornwall, a transition point where one state of the landscape passes into another. Just like the cliffs of Cornwall, Schulze’s exhibited works embody a transitory moment that represents a threshold – from black-and-white drawings to color paintings.

Concurrent with the exhibition at the gallery, Andreas Schulze’s work is on view in a solo show at The Perimeter. Traveling from Kunsthalle Nürnberg to London, On Stage transforms The Perimeter into a fantastical set for Schulze's distinctive painterly worlds.

Relax
April 21–September 30, 2022
Venice

Relax exhibits for the first time a series of new glass sculptures by Andreas Schulze. Created by the artist on the famous glass-making island of Murano, these new works function as bookends and extend Schulze’s unique and highly recognizable visual language. Surrounding the sculptures are paintings from Schulze's well-known Vacanze series, whose motifs echo the theme of the exhibition in colorful, abstract images.  
 
This exhibition is a collaboration between Sprüth Magers & DH Office and takes place at San Marco 3209, Salizzada Malipiero in Venice.

October 22–November 20, 2020

Andreas Schulze and Sprüth Magers have a shared history. In February 1983 Monika Sprüth opened her Cologne gallery with an Andreas Schulze exhibition, and since that fateful day he has had fifteen solo exhibitions with the gallery, in Berlin, London and Los Angeles. He has also exhibited widely in museums, including a solo exhibition at Villa Merkel, Esslingen (2014), which travelled to the Kunstmuseum Bonn and Kunstmuseum St. Gallen (2015). Most recently, he had a solo exhibition at the Kunsthalle Bielefeld (2018). Kunsthalle Nuremberg will host a comprehensive solo exhibition in February 2022.

The visible also always conveys the invisible. All the more so in the cheerful world of consumerism, in which we live today. The more perfect its surfaces, the more its opposites also seem to resonate – the suppressed and the absurd. No painter has understood this better than Andreas Schulze. The Cologne based artist, who has been associated with the gallery since 1983 and a professor at the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf since 2008, examines the most mundane objects from his personal surroundings.

London

In his second solo show at the London gallery, the artist will present two ceramic sculptures alongside a selection of paintings, depicting landscapes inspired by the artist’s recent expedition to the island of Sicily. Schulze has been recognised as an inventor of new pictorial worlds, having developed an autonomous and unmistakable visual language with which to explore various interior views of society. A fundamental theme in the artist’s work is the power of painting to create illusion, giving multifaceted treatment to the theme of the interplay between being and appearance, reality and staging in the medium of painting.

Ever since the 1980s, Andreas Schulze has focused on various interior views of our society. Most often, his works depict everyday landscapes and bourgeois idylls which he constructs as subtle, parallel worlds to reality. His early paintings consist of intensely colored compositions in which the dimensions of sculptural globes and other geometrical forms are shifted and inner pictorial perspectives constantly change. In the exhbition, Schulze is presenting his works in a specific setting within the exhibition space, which thereby becomes a component of the suggestive pictorial spaces. The arrangement interweaves real and fictional space, and develops a productive interplay between painting and installation.

At the center of the installation is the model of a miniature city from Schulze's collection of model trains. The walls of the exhibition room are covered with wallpaper and surround the model like a landscape; posters advertise the tourist attractions of Saxony and Dresden. With this model, however, it is a matter not of a true-to-reality representation, but of a fictional cityscape which is drawn from personal and narrated memories, information conveyed by the media, and associational set-pieces. Similarly as in other works, Andreas Schulze is concerned here with an approach to reality, with the possibilities of its representation and the emphasizing of the artificiality of this depiction.

Flowers & Landscapes
June 3–August 28, 2009
London

Presenting five ceramic sculptures and two major new paintings, the exhibition showcases the appealing complexity and subversive luminosity of Schulze’s craft, a practice which has earned him widespread respect and extensive influence amongst both his contemporaries and younger artists for over three decades. Dominating the exhibition are two large-scale paintings which typify Schulze’s vibrant and powerful visual style. While stylistically Schulze’s paintings have often echoed and indeed drawn on a Modernist painting tradition which stretches back to artists such as Giorgio de Chirico, conceptually and attitudinally his work is suffused with the postmodern sensibility of his contemporaries. Juxtaposed against the Unheimliche atmosphere of Schulze’s paintings are his more playful and ebullient, yet nonetheless ironic evocations of the Gemütlich in the ceramic sculptures.

As part of the PASSAGEN, the supporting programme of the International Furniture Fair in Cologne, at the beginning of the year Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers present a new edition of the exhibition “Mondi Possibili”. The works on display deal with the subject of furniture from a variety of angles: as citation, as homage, as adaptation, or as copy. Others are usable objects that hardly differ from their reference objects in the domain of design or furniture.
