Book Albert Oehlen - Taschen

From canvases to computer-generated images – this has been the definitive monograph of Albert Oehlen so far. In what is called the death of painting, Oehlen instead found his expansion, broadening his practice, establishing rules clearly designed to overcome conventions. A must-have for anyone seriously interested in contemporary art and the future of painting practice.
