"Martin Kippenberger: Hotel Drawings and The Happy End of Franz Kafka s Amerika"
2000-09-10 until 2000-11-05
Smart Museum of Art
Chicago, IL, USA United States of America

Martin Kippenberger (1953-1997) was one of the most complex and prolific German artists of his generation. In a special collaboration, the Smart Museum of Art will join with the Renaissance Society in presenting two distinct facets of his work. The Smart Museum will present almost 200 of the hotel drawings (1987-1997).

Called an autobiography in sketches, this series of drawings on hotel stationery includes doodle-like drawings, highly finished compositions and sketches that relate to his paintings, sculptures and installations. The Renaissance Society will present The Happy End of Franz Kafka's Amerika (1996). This room-sized installation refers to Kafka's unfinished novel in which the central character navigates a vast employment office: in Kippenberger's version, the office becomes an off-kilter playing field.
