The epitome of expressive figural paintingIf Berliners have heard of Rainer Fetting (b.
Wilhelmshaven 1949 lives and works in Berlin and Sylt) it is probably for his
larger-than-life bronze statue of Willy Brandt at the Social Democratic Party's headquarters.
But Fetting is actually best known for his work as a painter. This year will bring the first
show at his New York gallery Albertz Benda after a hiatus of more than three decades. The book
presents paintings created between the 1990s and today with a focus on works from New York
Florida beaches and seascapes and views from the island of Sylt. With an essay by Boris
Pofalla.
