KONRAD LUEG
2019-12-09A seminal figure of the German postwar art scene, Konrad Lueg (1939–1996) mobilized unconventional materials and exhibition formats to critique the rise of mass consumerism and the burgeoning commercial art world in mid-century Germany. Better known as Konrad Fischer, the legendary gallerist who represented artists Carl Andre, Charlotte Posenenske, Sol LeWitt, Robert Ryman, Hanne Darboven, and Bruce Nauman, among others, Lueg worked as an artist in the 1960s. This exhibition, the second of Lueg’s work at Greene Naftali, presents a selection of works from 1963–1968. Contextualizing the pivotal end of Lueg’s career as an artist and the 1967 opening of Konrad Fischer Galerie with a group of early works, the exhibition traces his bold material and formal investigations.
