DIE ERFINDUNG DER NEUEN WILDEN MALEREI UND SUBK...

The publication The Invention of the Neuen Wilden aims to put a new perspective on the
phenomena of the so-called Neue Wilde. Instead of focussing on the production of paintings by
those involved - and a corresponding catalogue of these paintings - it is much more interested
in the emergence of the painting boom out of potent interplay between artists  gallerists 
collectors and art historians. Here the focus is especially on personal backgrounds and the
context in which painters worked. The argument shows that the artistic practises of the Neuen
Wilden had little to do with a generalised return to panel painting and thus to a traditional
concept of art. Painting was in fact embedded in an extended network of artistic production 
which was particularly characterised by a destabilisation in the division between high and
popular culture as well as by various media  genres and collaborative forms of praxis. Hitherto
neglected photographic and documentary material as well as artists' posters  records 
newspapers  video works and artists' books testify to the artists' experimental bent on one
hand  their proximity to self-organised  subcultural phenomenon  such as the punk or new wave
scenes of the 1980s on the other. On this basis  the much-described return to painting can be
exposed as a hugely simplified narrative  while sketching out a complex image of the situation
around 1980. Text: Thomas Bayrle  Andreas Beitin  Werner Büttner  Diedrich Diederichsen
