This text looks at the art of German painter and installation artist Franz Ackermann.
Franz Ackermann's oeuvre adopts the modern superficiality of pop, and his paintings, gouaches and installations have been internationally exhibited. This book looks at some of his most recent works, as displayed at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in 2005.
Franz Ackermann is one of the most important and admired contemporary artists. Ackermann travels all over the world; soaking up influences from South America to East Asia. The impressions gained in these places are captured in watercolours, which serve as the foundation for paintings that he describes as 'mental maps' - large-format paintings with wide, sweeping and detailed arrangements. Stadtgalerie Altötting presents works by Ackermann that are the result of a journey made on a regular bus route on the Panamericana, along the west coast of South America, south of Lima, the capital of Peru: These works merge to form a large installation and remind us of something important: that home is the counterpart to the global. Published to accompany the exhibition Franz Ackermann. LIMA, May - July 2009, Stadtgalerie Altötting. English and German text.
