Author Description

Anselm Reyle's stripe paintings established his reputation; they consciously take on historical models and vary these with applications of spot varnish and glossy foil to interlace their formal rigor with the language of club culture. Reyle's use of surfaces and finishes that appear to have been industrially produced and recall minimal art objects above all enables him to zoom in on the modernist celebration of industrialization and highlight what lies right beside the legitimate art-historical strands of modern art, also including minimal art. 00Exhibition: CFA Contemporary Fine Arts Berlin, Germany (01.10.–14.11.2015).
