Markus Lüpertz

Wetterling Gallery is delighted to invite you to the opening of Markus Lüpertz exhibition Zwielicht.

The exhibition presents paintings and sculptures by one of Germany’s most significant and influential postwar artists, Markus Lüpertz. For over six decades, Lüpertz has revisited classical mythology and heroic imagery, transforming them into bold contemporary forms. His expressive paintings and monumental sculptures explore the tension between order and chaos, beauty and fragmentation – reimagining the mythic figure for the modern age.

Markus Lüpertz (b. 1941, Liberec, Bohemia) studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and emerged as a leading voice in German contemporary art during the 1960s. A painter, sculptor, poet, and long-time rector of the Kunstakademie Karlsruhe, Lüpertz has exhibited extensively worldwide, with major retrospectives at the Bundeskunsthalle Bonn, the Städel Museum Frankfurt, and the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Monterrey. His work can be found in numerous museum collections, and he continues to live and work between Berlin and Karlsruhe.
