About this Item
Original exhibition poster by Anton Henning. 100 x 70 cm, new. Anton Henning (* 1964 in Berlin ) is a German artist who, in addition to painting , also works with sculptures and films. Henning is self-taught . In the late 1980s he lived first in London and then in New York City. He had his first solo exhibitions from the mid-1990s. With the furnishing of the restaurant in the Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck in 2007 together with his solo exhibition, he also made a name for himself as an artistic designer of furniture and interiors. From 2018 to 2020 he held a substitute professorship at the Dresden University of Fine Arts. In his painterly work, Henning works to bring the stylistic devices of the avant-garde and classical modernism to the fore in a new way. Instead of just quoting them ironically, as is usual in postmodernism , he takes them up seriously and confidently and gains new dimensions from them, especially in combination and fusion. His pictures therefore often appear like contemporary continuations of works by Picasso , Matisse , Modigliani or Guston . But it is also important to him to forge connections to earlier eras of art history that transcend modernism. Artists such as Titian , Rembrandt and Courbet are always important references in Henning's work. With series of his paintings, sculptures and light sculptures and three-dimensional wall objects, together with purchased or self-designed furniture, wallpaper and carpets, he creates room-filling salons. These walk-in and usable installations, which are color-coordinated, create an overall picture that Henning calls interior . Henning lives and works in Manker near Fehrbellin .
