ADRIAN GHENIE - JUERG JUDIN PAMELA KORT GEBUNDEN

Ever since his spectacular exhibition at the Romanian Pavilion at the 56th Venice Biennial in
2015 at the latest  Adrian Ghenie has been known to a broader art audience as one of the most
interesting and idiosyncratic painters of his generation. His works-painted in oil  etched 
troweled  or thrown-have already found their way to the collections of the Metropolitan Museum
of Art in New York  the Tate Modern in London  and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. On the art
market they are close on the heels of auction records. Still  neither Gehnie's subjects nor his
technique accommodate general taste: the most important source of his collage-like compositions
is the history of the "century of humiliation " as Ghenie calls the twentieth century-its
criminals and victims. These are joined by positive heroes such as van Gogh and Darwin  along
with self-portraits. ADRIAN GHENIE (*1977  Baia Mare  Romania) studied painting at the
University of Art and Design in Cluj  Romania. He has had large solo shows at such institutions
as the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver  the S.M.A.K. in Ghent  the Palazzo Cini in Venice
and the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Bucharest. Ghenie lives in Berlin
