Dieter Krieg – Maler, Diebe und Gesindel
In the organizer's words:
Museum Küppersmühle is dedicating a comprehensive solo exhibition to the painter Dieter Krieg (1937-2005) with around 70, mostly very large-format works. It is the first comprehensive presentation of the painter in a museum since the artist's retrospective at the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart in 2007. Krieg was one of the most prominent German painters of his generation. The selection for this exhibition focuses on his late work with lettering and monumental depictions of everyday objects such as fried eggs, chops, shower curtains, candles and more. In his paintings, the close link between references to literature and the questionability of the representability of things becomes particularly clear. "The mastery of the image triumphs over the depicted atrophy, just as Beckett's mastery of the word triumphs over his amputated, bound figures." (Peter Dittmar). The exhibition demonstrates the enduring topicality and seductive power of Dieter Krieg's painting.
