The Shop: Books, Art and Pretty Things
more

This catalog was published on the occasion of the exhibition Andreas Schmitten. Nothing New at Kunstpalais from March 16 until June 10, 2019.
In the manner of colorful storyboards, drawn with calm strokes, stoic-looking people do outrageous things: A dentist smashes his entire surgery room into bits and then stretches out to sleep on the floor; a woman cuts off her clothes in front of the mirror and then burns the shreds in the sink.
Whether in drawing, sculpture or murals—the works of Andreas Schmitten (1980 in Mönchengladbach) are as appealing as they are disturbing. He became famous for his peculiarly functional-looking sculptures and perfectly polished showcases. The artist’s book Nothing New now shows Schmitten’s latest drawings—in a lovingly designed and detailed volume with a colorful edge, which is reminiscent of the extraordinary framing of his drawings.
