Author Description

This publication is about a multiple installation - often referred to as 'white paintings' (1991) and so far rarely shown. The installation involves eleven white canvases that are embedded into the wall, virtually becoming one with it. Upon approaching the work one recognizes glossy children's handwriting on the images, which quasi certifies Kippenberger's work by grading it throughout with the mark 'very good' - of course on request of the artist. In addition to the eleven pictures and some photographs of the presentation, the catalogue includes essays about the work. The texts in the book are in German and English.0Exhibition: Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin, Germany (23.02.-18.08.2013).
