The Persistance of Painting

For over a century, painting has been declared obsolete, yet it continually reinvents itself. Persistence of Painting explores this resilience through works by Yasmin Alt, Felix Becker, Helen von Burg, Christian Henkel, Laura Mietrup, Angelika Schori, Herbert Warmuth, and Hendrik Zimmer. Their diverse approaches—ranging from material exploration to digital and spatial practices—show painting as a dynamic, adaptable medium. As David Joselit says: “Painting persists not because it resists the new, but because it absorbs it.”
