Book Albert Oehlen - Taschen

From canvases to computer images - this is the definitive monograph of Albert Oehlen to date. In the so-called death of painting, Oehlen found instead its extension, expanding his practice by establishing rules explicitly designed to overcome conventions. A must-have for anyone serious about contemporary art and the future of painting practice.
