No Problem: Cologne/New York 1984-1989

Synopsis

In The Words Of Peter Schjeldahl, Writing Recently In The New Yorker About The Exhibition No Problem: Cologne/new York 1984–1989 At David Zwirner In New York, The Show's Cast Of Artists Amounts To A Retrospective Shopping List Of What Would Matter And Endure In Art Of The Era. Canonizing That Moment, This Seminal Publication Examines The Latter Half Of The 1980s Through The Lens Of The Art Scenes In Cologne―arguably The European Center Of The Contemporary Art World At That Time―and New York. While A Number Of Established Cologne-based Gallerists, Including Karsten Greve, Paul Maenz, Rolf Ricke, Michael Werner And Rudolf Zwirner, Had Already Begun Shaping The European Reception Of American Art In The Previous Decade, The 1980s Marked A Period During Which Art Being Produced In And Around Cologne Gained International Attention. --amazon Foreword / David Zwirner -- Before Globalization : Cologne And New York In The 1980s / Diedrich Diederichsen -- Plates -- I Love Eternity, Or, More Love Hours Than Can Ever Be Repaid / Bob Nickas -- Cologne/new York In The 1980s : A Chronology / Kara Carmack -- Artists Biographies : Selected Exhibitions 1980-1990 -- List Of Works.
