Anton Henning’s art apparently acknowledges no boundaries between genres and style. The artist (*1964 in Berlin) lustfully draws from the value patterns of past eras and revitalizes them in a richly allusive blend. In his subversive march through art history, he regularly links abstract, ornamental stylistic elements with figural motifs and places avant-garde and design, trash, and salon art in a dialectic relationship.This publication presents Anton Henning’s work from 1990 to the present for the first time in this scope. Selected works—paintings, drawings, sculptures, objects, and seating furniture—provide insight into the artist’s overly ornate and opulent cosmos of images. The survey ranges from Henning’s early photo overpaintings and black-and-white pictures, in which he subverted photography’s realism by means of deliberate painterly interventions, and the jazz images oriented toward the aesthetics of late-sixties psychedelic art to his ornamental arabesque interiors and pin-ups. Exhibition schedule: Wilhelm-Hack-Museum, Ludwigshafen, and Kunsthalle Mannheim, May 16–August 16, 2009
