Albert Oehlen: Endless Summer

“Endless Summer” is an exhibition of new paintings by Albert Oehlen exploring the theme of the bather, a motif deeply embedded in French art history that captivated such artists as Pierre Bonnard, Paul Cézanne, Édouard Manet, and Pablo Picasso. The bather has maintained a significant and diverse presence throughout the history of art, and in “Endless Summer”, Oehlen contributes to the tradition in characteristically expressive style. Endless Summer is presented in the Paris galleries of Gagosian and Galerie Max Hetzler, and is accompanied by a copublished catalogue featuring an essay by Jean-Pierre Criqui and an interview with Max Dax about Albert Oehlen’s filmmaking.
