The Alan Cristea Gallery

Christiane Baumgartner
Reel Time

17 February – 19 March 2011
Private View Wednesday 16 February 6 – 8pm
In conversation with the artist, 6pm 16 February, in association with the Goethe Institute

The most comprehensive London show of Christiane Baumgartner’s work to date, Reel Time will include a new monumental print, Luftbild (Triptychon), which, at almost 7m, will cover an entire wall at Alan Cristea’s 34 Cork Street gallery.  Baumgartner’s work is a unique fusion of traditional woodcut techniques and video and asks us to take a moment  in a world of ever-increasing speed to reflect on the simple and the everyday, such as a ploughed field in snow or a reflection in water.
The exhibition will also include the artist’s signature woodcut from 2002, Transall (over 4m long), editions of which are in the collections of the Albertina, Vienna, the Museum der bildende Künste Leipzig, the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Zabludowicz Collection, London.
