Andrea Madesta presents a compelling exhibition at the Kunstforum der Ostdeutschen Galerie in Regensburg, showcasing exceptional drawings and small sculptures from Markus Lüpertz's graphic oeuvre. These works stand out as some of Lüpertz’s finest, contrasting with the often coarse and heroic nature of his larger pieces, which frequently feature deliberate mutilation or antiquing. Here, the forms emerge more directly from the artist’s hand, offering a fresh perspective. The Bozzetti possess a tangible quality rooted in physicality, devoid of any overt dramatics. This interplay between drawing and sculpture creates an intimate dialogue that reveals the internal dynamics of Lüpertz’s work, sometimes more effectively than his grand, completed pieces. Madesta’s selection provides a unique insight into Lüpertz’s artistry, serving as a contemporary reexamination of his work. In this context, significant mythical sculptures are reimagined as chimera-like entities, wherein the artist deconstructs traditional myths. This exhibition invites viewers to appreciate the subtleties and complexities of Lüpertz’s artistic vision, emphasizing the beauty found in his drawings and smaller sculptures.
