Description

Butter in the sun In 1966, when Kuehn first exhibited the work group »Melt Pieces« at the legendary Bianchini Gallery in New York, he noted in his sketchbook: »Butter in the sun. What could be more fatal?« This brief consideration signifies one of his basic principles: the procedural aspect. Kuehn rebelled with his early work against the authority of the rigid stable form, as was represented by the then predominant Minimal Art: The ideal cuboids seem to have started to melt like ice or butter. Physical processes, often associated with external forces, transform intact geometric shapes. Kuehn experimented with different materials (tar, fiberglass, latex, metal, wood) and an incredible breadth of creative possibilities. Deformations and transformations, the basic form remaining intact, become visible and produce a narrative as well as a metaphorical moment. The main factor here is the tension of opposites - strength and weakness, rigidity and flexibility, hardness and softness, solid and fluid state collide and raise one of the basic themes of human existence: the question of boundaries and freedom. In 2000, Gary Kuehn noted that his work »lies somewhere between sex and geometry«. The book, which was created in close collaboration with the artist, gives an insight into the diverse sculptural, painterly and graphic works from five decades, with an emphasis on the 1960s. A central theme of the book and exhibition is the close link between painting and sculpture in Kuehn's work. In addition to knowledgeable accompanying texts, it is especially the richly illustrated exhibition chronology containing interviews and artist texts that make this book indispensable. Exhibition: Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, 19/9/2014-25/1/2015 About the Author Gary Kuehn born 1939 in Plainfield, lives in New York. He is an American artist and sculptor. His carrer is inextricable related with the both exhibtions Eccentric Abstraction curated by Lucy Lippard 1966, and the foremost exhibition When Attitude Becomes Form 1969 curated by Harald Szeemann. But Gary Kuehn also participated 1977 at documenta 6 in Kassel and exhibited 1979 in this decade in Vienna at Museum Moderner Kunst, 1980 in Stuttgart at Württembergischer Kunstverein as well as he did numerous gallery shows in Europe and USA. Again a highlight was 2013 the show Fondazione Prada hosted in Vencie with a remake of When Attitudes Become Form; this event brought for a long summer period the artists as well as their formulation of Minimal back again to mind and released the works and their creators from the museums and market places.
